Hi Alastair.

Thanks for your email.

Just when I thought I had a solution you threw a spanner in the works (-:

I don't think I will have to option to work with 16 bit data as the image 
processing framework I am using only supports 8 bit data. Would using sRGB be a 
better solution although I would get more colour loss?


Regards,
Kevin.

This is a viable solution with two provisos:

(a) you must be certain that the recipients' workflow will actually
recognize and make use of the embedded profile.

(b) you will need to save 16-bit data, which effectively means you'll
have to save TIFF, not JPEG.  8-bit data isn't enough when using
wide-gamut colourspaces - the steps between adjacent codes can be large
enough to lead to visible contouring.

All the best,
