Not sure if Epson and Apple have resolved their communications problems but
the "from" space that the Epson ColorSync option uses is *supposed* to be
whatever you set as the "Input" space in the ColorSync control panel.  If
you always use (say) Adobe RGB in Photoshop you would probably want to set
the ColorSync "Input" to Adobe RGB when you are using Photoshop.  If you are
using a custom RGB space (like a printer space) to edit in Photoshop then
you would use that space as the "Input".   If you are not using a non-color
managed software then you would probably be best off setting the "Input"
space to the same space as your monitor since that is what non-managed
software use (by default).  At least that is how I understand it - but be
careful on that since I'm not sure Apple and Epson have really learned to
speak each others languages quite yet.  I'm avoiding the issue by using the
printer space in Photoshop.
