Bob,
Do you have any links on this idea that Apple RGB is the response or
equivalent space on the Mac to sRGB on the PC? AFAIK, AppleRGB is not a
standard or documented specification like sRGB. It was my impression that
it's Photoshop that has coined that name in Photoshop 6 or 7. I don't think
that Apple has put a name on any color space? I could be wrong.
