[Digital BW] Re: Question About CS2

Paul's expanation is correct.  If you're going to be printing using an actual 
profile, you select "Let Photoshop Determine Colors" then select your profile 
in the next dropdown.  It all works the same as before, just renamed and in 
slightly different places. 

What would be nice is if Photoshop and the Epson printer driver could talk to 
each other such that, when you select "Let Photoshop Determine Colors," the 
Color Management option in the Epson printer driver would automatically be 
turned off.  As is, you still have to remember to select "No Color Adjustment" in 
the Epson printer driver, just like before.
