Yes - I agree in theory, but the average person in prepress who only has
Photoshop and needs to make a SWOP type sep but with a different K gen or
whatever - then this is where only having the one Adobe profile can be a
concern. I like the flexible Photoshop Custom CMYK (legacy) when it comes to
the ability to quickly and easily factor in various conditions into a
separation on the fly (even if not as good as a 'proper' profile). So, as I
can't make my own profiles (nor would I want to when all I want to do is
make a sep and get on with work), I use what I can freely find or just make
do with the built in engine and my own edits to get the job done.
