Hi John, No problems, I did the same experiment for some one else not long ago, I'm happy to share. Quick and dirty flash shot. PEF processed using PhotoLab, sRGB (embedded using PS) http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/_igp6865.jpg PEF processed using PS CS, sRGB http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/sRGB_IMGP6865.jpg PEF processed using PS CS, PhotoPro (should look pretty drab in a web browser) http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/PhotoPro_IMGP6865.jpg Photolab can only process files relative to AdobeRGB or sRGB colour spaces and it doesn't embed the colour space information so your apps have to be able to assign the CS on recognizing that there is no embedded colour space, this is a real PITA.
