Should you not open as sRGB and convert to Adobe 98? Does your method not ignore the embedded profile and just say this file is Adobe98 when it is not? > Also: when opening a jpg camera file across a network, it opens > untagged, although > the same file is tagged sRGB when opened on the computer on which the > file resides. If you know it has a profile (recognised or not) then you should open it with that profile and either work in that colour space, or convert it to your preferred one. The opening over a network difference is more subtle :-)) what systems are you using? Hope that helps. Though perhaps I should not check my email after getting back from the pub (~1am) I think I ought to go to bed now! :-)) :-)) bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
