I'm able to manually adjust my desktop monitor to such a white point that matches my target (5000�) via it's individual RGB guns. Hence images look close to how they appear in Photoshop when viewed through non color savvy apps. I attribute this to the ability to get my monitor in such a close matching state to my RGB working space: ColorMatch. As for the Powerbook, is color accuracy being sacrificed when calibrated to a white point (5000�K) that's not native and can not be manually adjusted as such? If I've calibrated to a 5000/1.8 standard, working in an RGB space that's similar (ColorMatch), and opening up a file in PS that I choose not to color manage, shouldn't it look the same through a viewer that's not color savvy? If Photoshop is using the profile to compensate for the monitor's inability to render accurately the working space, does the difference between the two views reflect the monitor's inadequacy in being calibrated to such a difference of white points? One thing I noticed is that the images match if I assign the monitor's profile to the one in PS.
