What amazing knowledge, thanks.

If I have understood the gist correctly, it seems as though PS7 by default
is only offering up this rather dated version of the sRGB profile.

I have now realised that when I select the advance option in PS7 colour
settings I get a much bigger choice of profiles, including the later sRGB
one as you have described.

What's the difference between the following two profile locations ?

OS>Library>Colorsync>Profiles>

(contains various folders like, Lyson, Nikon, etc then another called
PROFILES (again), then a load of other profiles and a folder called
RECOMMENDED and this seems to be the source of most of the PS settings
profiles (RGB + CMYK at least))

Then, 

OSX>System>Library>Colorsync>Profiles

(containing a short list of mainly 'generic' profiles

Why the two locations ?
What's the best way to organise profiles?
What governs which profiles appear in which drop down selections?

Cheers

Simon
