Strange that I'm the only one that can print a difference.

 A files search on *.ic* should turn them up for Jim.

Win98SE....

After doing this I came up with only one instance of "srgb Color Space 
Profile.icc" dated 4/23/99, in the c:\windows\system\color folder.

There was another interesting profile, something like "photoshop 5 
defaultscmyk.icc" (also a PS4 defaults) in I think the common 
files\Adobe subfolder (didn't jot it down). I figured this didn't 
apply, but I mention it for completeness. Could it select this when 
PS5 defaults are selected in the color settings in PS7 or 6 and lump 
the profiles for all the modes together in this one icc file? Could 
then the srgb component of the "default icc" file differ from the srgb 
file under the system\color folder?

I searched in the registry, I remember the path to the ICM, but just 
saw numbers, no directory paths or file names. Perhaps I'm not skilled 
enough to find stuff here, but since I only turned up one srgb icc 
file, it may be moot.

Does this mean for already finished images I am pretty much stuck with 
srgb or will something like a transform curve work? Or just squint a 
little if the diff is negilible. The only real problem I have with my 
one image is posterization, I don't mind too much that PS7 makes it 
darker. Or should Paul redo the curves? I thought the specs on MIS 
site for PC still said to use srgb.

If I'm stuck with srgb, the next time I upgrade my OS or something 
similar, but keep PS 6, will I have a different srgb file converting 
my images so all the old ones are no longer valid?

If so, it would be wise to convert ALL my images (that show a 
difference, if I can tell that without printing every one over) now in 
PS6, and store them up on a bunch of CD's, so that the magic 
conversion is already done when opened again, so I can use Paul's 
curves to print in PS7, PS8, etc.
