Exactly. That's what I meant. What you are calling the gamma of a 
printer/paper/ink combo is compensated for within the workflow, your 
RGB curves. The grayscale scan, edits, conversion to RGB, and RGB 
separations all take place in the same gamma, 2.2, right?

Right, I thought the discussion was about the potential problems of 
doing a final gamma move which seems like something to be avoided. If 
an element like paper changes, new sepaprations would be best.
I suppose a file from a past life, saved in some other space,
presents 
a different problem.
I find your multi mode change method useful for all kinds of things.
