Photoshop from several versions back has a default profile set up for untagged files. Even now, working in a well defined and profiled space like I do, you run into problems when exporting to the web and the ubiquitous gamma 2.2 windoze sRGB space. Until all OS's support profiles and we all tag our files with them the problem will continue. But that day is coming pretty fast IMO. - -- John Brownlow http://www.pinkheadedbug.com ICQ: 109343205
