I was fine with profiling (setting color control properly in two separate dialogues), but the inconsistency of these dialogues in other contexts was confusing me.  There seem to be three possibilities for the Color Matching pane:  three radio buttons (including one for no color control), two dimmed radio buttons with ColorSync selected, two undimmed radio buttons with Epson selected.  The third one occurs with Photoshop CS and Light Zone 3.9. The first occurs with Spyder3Print, and the second occurs with CS5, Aperture and Lightroom.  It was the second one that confused me. I wanted to explicitly choose not to manage color, or choose to manage color with the Epson driver (and then tell the Epson driver not to manage color at all).  I assumed that even a dimmed ColorSync choice would automatically apply some kind of profiling to the data.  Apparently not.  The dimmed but selected ColorSync button is either a "lie" --- ColorSync is in fact *not* enabled --- or ColorSync only profiles data that does not come already labelled as actively profiled.  ??
