I think I mentioned it before but this is how I work in PS CS, any file without an embedded CS is assumed to be sRGB however my working space is ProPhoto RGB and as such I edit and save in 16 bit mode for all my primary edits.
With my new scanner I'm going to have to take another look at my default working space. I'll either end up sticking with Adobe RGB, or moving to a wider gamut space such as EktaSpace for archival purposes. It depends on the capabilities of my new film scanner. I've noticed that it does put out noticeably higher-saturation files than my previous one did.
I have recently heard speculation of LCD screens with LED backlighting in development that can do Adobe RGB. I don't know how far away from the market they are though.
Some time away I expect, just about when my new 22" CRT finally blows smoke
rings I hope.
Yeah, it might give me a chance to save. I'd want to buy one pretty much immediately.
Mac users with any late OS should also be able to use the link above (assuming
they are prepared to install a VRML browser plug-in), it produces a virtual 3D
plot which can be rotated. It's a good learning device.
I think I installed the plugin for that site a while ago but I don't remember if I actually used it. It sounds the site you mentioned does exactly what the ColorSync Utility does, but ColorSync can only plot profiles that are installed on your system.
