I can tell you this, BEST will NOT recognize the tagged RGB (yes, even if
you check on the "Use in TIFF embedded profiles" box). This is a bit of a
sore spot for me because I believe it does not work as intended or how I was
told this feature worked by BESTColor tech support.
For an RGB workflow, I've found you simply plug in your CMYK paper profile
as the "Paper" and your RGB working space as the "Source" (this could be a
scanner profile but that would be unusual I would think) and it will ASSUME
this RGB working space regardless of what the image is tagged with. Wrong in
my opinion, but that's been my experience. To be fair, I haven't retested
this with the latest version I have (4.2.2). Whether or not you use the
"Base Linearization" feature is up to you. It's only a requirement for
certain printer output settings, for example when using Super Enhanced on an
Epson. Really, the only thing the base lin gives you is the ability to set
PER CHANNEL ink limits instead of simply global ink limits. And the base
linearization is not necessarily tied to the paper profile. This only
happens if you use BEST's "ProfileKeeper" utility (profile patching
utility). ProfileKeeper let's you "tag" the paper profile with all the
settings used to make that profile (dot shape/printer settings, total ink
and per channel limits and the base linearization file).
