Assigning the monitor profile and then convertign to AdobeRGB will indeed
change your data, and in theory 'damage" it a bit; but this adjustment is a
correction that you claim improves your results... losing data with
corrections is basicly what everything you do in Photoshop results in... this
is no different, its part of the compromise of data tweaking. The thing to
avoid it hammering the data to a significant degree, so that the end results
shows marked gaps in the histograms.
