What is the different between working in different modes (RGB, CMYK, Lab, and so on)?
Does anyone know off hand where I can learn more about all these modes?

Computer screens use the RGB colour space, whilst some of the commercial printers use a 4 colour pigment ink set (CMYK). Not sure about Lab though.

RGB is the usual color space I work in.
I have converted to CMYK when printing on an HP 5500 plotter.
The only time I have used Lab was a first step to convert to black and white.

Here
is a good primer on color spaces. There are several parts to the linked article. If you really want to understand color spaces and color management, pick up
Real World Color Management
