Especially if you convert rather than assign that profile. I confess that I hardly ever remember to assign that sRGB. The web shots just being an incidental part of my output. I need more discipline there.

I don't know if it makes any difference at the end whether I convert to sRGB and then to 8-bit or to 8-bit and then to sRGB. I've been using the former process. Makes more sense to me to toss away the extra bits as the last step. And the main benefit? By doing it this way, if I haven't converted the image, I can't save as a jpeg since the image is still 16-bit. -- Eric http://canid.com/ _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
