Re: using icc profiles in photoshop

p.s. Although this will be obvious from that ToP thread, I should have mentioned that this silent sRGB conversion problem is only on Windows, not Mac OS X, which is why it's relevant to the OP.

There are two workflow issues, in my view.

1. How you you configure Photoshop? The most obvious way is to set "Printer Manages Colours". However, I have recently discovered (others may have known this for longer), that in recent versions of Photoshop (CS5 or later), if you print like this and the image has an embedded profile, then Photoshop silently does a conversion to sRGB. This is not what you want.
