Sorry - it is not that easy.
Indesign 2 and Illustrator 10 will not honor an ICC profile embedded as
PostScript comments by Photoshop - in this case one would have to turn on
PostScript color management when saving the image in Photoshop. Dunno why
they did it this way...
QuarkXPress will not do anything with or towards EPSes when it comes to
color management. This can be a good thing, when PostScript color
management is being used, and it can be bad if the ICC profile is only
embedded as PostScript comments. Unless further down the road some color
management software uses that ICC profile embedded as PostScript comments
anyway.
On the other hand, Apogee Series 3 Normalizer/Create will (optionally or
always?) strip PostScript color management information.
Maybe it's time vendors get their act together? Maybe they should even
try to talk to each other and agree on a method all of them support in
the same way? Maybe wishes come true if one believes/prays/hopes strongly
enough?
