I might have been wrong about Photoshop using the profile of the
menubar display, it might instead be the profile of the display you
open the file on, but since those are the same for me I figured it was
the menubar display.
Thanks John,
On my system the image opens and looks correct as long as I open it on
the display I am viewing it on . If I drag it to the other display the
colors go "off."
The difference between which display Photoshop
matches to and which profile Preview/Safari/Apple apps match to, that's
one possible source of difference. Another is what I mentioned in my
last post, about a profiling app setting the system profile instead of
setting the display profile, you should check that too.
The match between Photoshop and Safari/Preview is fine on my system
(for now), but it does not behave the way Terry descibes below.
You can drag an image from one display to the other, both with their
own profiles, and you'll see Photoshop re-draw/change the preview
accordingly. It'll use EITHER display profile depending on which
display the image is being viewed.

Thanks Terry,
That would seem to be the proper way for things to proceed in a dual
monitor set-up but, that's definitely not the way it's working here. It
looks like my setup might be *trying* to do that. I wonder if Edmund
was onto something with his comment about "hanging two monitors off the
same video card" or at least the video card in the Powerbook.
Here's what I'm doing.
1. Open an crop (embedded sRGB) from the GMB Color checker in sRGB on
my default monitor. (Apple 20")
2. Duplicate it and leave the dupe on the 20".
3. Drag the original over to the Powerbook
4. Close and Reopen (in sRGB) so it opens on the Powerbook.
5. Drag the image back to the 20" and the images no longer match.
It seems as though I have to give PS (or something) a "nudge" to get
the display compensation to "kick in" when dragging between displays.
On occasion I even see the top patch on my test image start to redraw,
but it quits about halfway through the top patch and stays that way
until I do the following:
I go Image>Mode> Assign Profile as soon as the dialog pops-up the
colors shift to a match regardless if the preview box is checked or
not. The same happens if I open the Convert dialog, but I have to tick
the preview box to trigger the shift there.
The same thing happens when I drag from the 20" to the Powerbook. The
match doesn't happen until I "trigger" it by going to assign or
convert.
