The underlying color model in Photoshop is neither RGB nor CMYK but LAB. It has the widest gamut, which means it can hold more color values than any other model. Of the two other models, RGB has more color values than CMYK does. When you convert from RGB to CMYK, the program first "maps" the RGB values into the LAB colorspace. It then maps the LAB values into the CMYK colorspace. Now, for REAL entertainment...take a pure RGB blue, or a pure RGB green, and attempt to map it into CMYK colorspace. It doesn't work at all. Red maps fine, but the other two go straight to hell.

Rgb cmyk hsl or pantone in a document?
If you're printing the image on your desktop printer, use RGB--those printers will convert anything else to RGB, then to CMYK. If you're printing it on a wide-format inkjet printer like a Roland, Mutoh or VUtek, or you're sending it to a printing plant to be printed on an offset or flexo press, use CMYK if you're not using spot colors, and Pantone for the spot colors.

How is RGB and CMYK related?
RGB is color mode which is suitable for screen, CMYK for printing with process colors. In most cases to print image you will first work with it in RGB color mode because you are watching your work on screen then you will need to convert to CMYK. RGB model is created from 3 main colors Red, Green and Blue, CMYK color mode is created from 3 opposite colors to Red, Green and Blue and they are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow plus Black color Ink. You can manage colors in RGB mode by increasing or decreasing participation of Cyan, Magenta or Yellow which are opposite colors on color wheel. In Curves dialog you can increase participation of Red color for example but also decrease by increasing participation of Cyan (pull curve in opposite side).

What does RGB mean in relation to the printing process?
There are two basic colorspaces for art: RGB and CMYK. (Yes, I know about LAB color, index color, and all the other settings you can put a file into. Let's stick to RGB abd CMYK.) Printing on a press, or a pro inkjet, is done in CMYK because the inks are cyan, magenta, yellow and black (black ink is also called "key") and if you set your Photoshop separation settings up right, you can convert a file to CMYK and have a very good idea of what it'll look like on the sheet. If you send an RGB file through your system to your imager, one of three things will happen; which one happens depends on your system. On a very old system, there won't be any colorspace conversion and you'll get a grayscale photo where you thought there was supposed to be a color one. If you have a newish system that automatically converts RGB to CMYK, and you've got it set up right with the exact ICC profiles you need and you have really good color-corrected art, you'll get a result that will look good. Most of us don't have it like this, because most of us separate the art in Photoshop. If you DON'T have the system set up like in the last paragraph, the system will convert art from RGB to CMYK but the finished product will be dull and lifeless. So...in relation to the printing process, RGB means Bad News if it gets all the way to plate that way.
