Ahh yes, certainly. Thanks for clarifying that. Previously I assumed, 
that with -v option and as long as I'm interested in PCS values only, 
the -o profile didn't really matter - so from what I understand, 
icctrans will try to compensate for user errors (as above, when mixing 
v2 and v4 perceptual intents) and present expected (from perspective of 
destination profile) PCS values ?

Nevermind that, I think I underestimated effects of mixing black point 
scaled and unscaled profiles (and forgot about post-gamma influence in PCS).


Thanks for your help.
