If you do go the route of getting your printer profiled or buying a pre-made ICC printer/paper profile then you can print out of Photoshop or any other colour management aware application and print from your working colourspace without needing to convert. The profile can be specified along with the rendering intent in the "Print with Preview" menu in PS to convert automatically before the data is spooled to the printer. Check the sub-article on the following page "A Primer on Rendering Intents" http://www.outbackphoto.com/color_management/cm_06/essay.html This article is also a great place to learn about the virtues and pitfalls of working with the ProPhoto RGB CS. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
