No, Photoshop 6 supports Document Specific Color. If you have a file that's
in SWOP, that's what's being used to preview the file to screen. Changing
the Color Settings don't affect the currently open file because Photoshop is
still using the embedded profile in the document (SWOP) to produce the
preview. NOW, if the file has NO embedded profile, things are different.
Here, Photoshop 6 has to assume something about this untagged file. It
assumes the current Working Space. So, if you had a file that was in CMYK
(or any colorspace) and no embedded profile and you change the Working Space
in the color pref's, Photoshop believes something different about this
untagged file.
This person is thinking of how Photoshop 5 operated where the file that was
opened (either with or without an embedded profile) was affected by the
color pref's. This silliness is gone in Photoshop 6 due to Document Specific
Color. The Working Space you set in the color preferences are used for
creating new files or for defining untagged files as I described above.
Otherwise, whatever profile is assigned to the open file will be used for
preview and conversions.
