Hi, Hoppy - The way I understand it is that the M8, if you are using RAW, doesn't have a designated color space. It captures everything you see. You assign the color space when you convert from RAW >I think that your comments on rendering intent are at the heart of >what your printer will output. >I was trying to say that you can't judge the result if monitor can't >display all of the colours. True, but since the monitor can display more colors, you can use the Proof Setup to view on the monitor what the print will look like using various profiles. The profiles that come with ImagePrint include different ones for viewing the prints under different light also. >Still the final word is what the prints look like, as you say. Yes, and I'm beginning to learn how to predict that without wasting this expensive paper. Now if I could just choose which photos to print!!
