Thanks for the confirmation of my own thoughts.
As luck would have it, the client approved the images this morning, and we are
specifically waiting for 'color space' instructions from the final user, but we
suspect sRGB (as it's for web viewing only). We, had suggested that to the
people *we* are working for, but they were clueless.
