I think when reading from the screen (eg GetPixel(screendc,x,y)) that you will always get values in the screen profile - which for unprofiled screens is sRGB. using GetICMProfile(screendc) you can get the name of the current screen profile - watch out for multi screen systems :-)

However the big problem is that it does not use profiles and so is inaccurate. Can somebody point me in the right direction as to what I should do when reading a pixel from a colour aware program, such as photoshop, before I apply my conversions. Equally interesting would be what to do with a non-profile aware program, such as Internet Explorer.
