nearly. sometimes ;-)

There's a bug in Photoshop's Gamut Warning (at least in CS2): it always uses the BPC setting selected in the preferences, not the one in the proof setup. Moreover it is also not very accurate.

Furthermore Photoshop's Gamut Warning should rather be called "Clipping Warning" IMHO: when used with any rendering intent other than abs. col., it marks the colors that will be clipped in the given transformation, not the colors outside the target gamut.

Except this does not result in a
gamut-managed image per se which your action has the merit of generating.

It's a useful and simple gamut visualization technique nevertheless.

Aber, do you find that it helps testing the quality of a monitor profile?

rather the size and shape of the monitor gamut compared to a printing process.

Along the lines of the original poster frage?

the part of the OP's question why there are such huge differences between the two verification methodshe mentioned.
