         Photoshop is a single colorspace per document models.

         Illustrator is a dual colorspace (Spot + either CMYK, RGB or Gray).

         InDesign is a COMPLETELY FLEXIBLE colorspace system - where 
each object can have a different colorspace which could be passed 
directly into PDF (Postscript or print) or can be converted based on 
output settings.
