Hi Eric,

Color Management has been used for Photoshop Mode conversions for quite
a while.  At least all the CS versions (CS,CS2,CS3,CS4) do it that way.
It's also worth mentioning that the Info Palette also uses this.  If you display say
RGB values when you have a grayscale file, you are seeing the ICC converted
values based on the RGB working space.  In other words since K values are
displayed in values 0-100 you don't see the full 8 bits that are really there.
Often people will look at the RGB values 0-255. But they aren't the files values
they are the converted values from K to RGB -- matching Lab Luminosity.

Yes, testing is always worthwhile.  It's a great way to learn what's going on
"under the hood" -- if you are curious about it.
