that's fine with me

nope, please reread the previous post I did in the "High-End Differences" thread where 
I describe the differences between RGB values and actual perceivable colours. Neither 
of them can display 16.7 million colours but both of them are addressable in 16.7 
million chunks.... to big a topic to get into again.

it does indeed. Actually, I think this is a very important thing. I often find people 
arguing about things when they are each in different workflows and they should not be 
using the same settings.

Steve
