If you try to do it in 16 bit, you need 4 Steps:
(8bitCMYK -> 16bitCMYK -> 16bitLab -> 16bitCMYK -> 8bitCMYK) and up to
Version 7 you also lose transparency and layers (maybe not in CS?).
Any suggestions for a simpler workaround?
Script it and assign to a function key. If the source and destination
profiles are differently named (external and internal) then Photoshop
will use them; you won't get a null conversion.
If all you're looking to fix is ink limits, this is probably not the
best way to do it if the destination is a press. You should probably
consider using a DeviceLink profile to restore an appropriate ink
limit, while preserving as much unique channel behavior as possible.
And at the point in time you care about finalizing ink limits in the
image, why do you care about preserving layers and transparency? I'm
currently not thinking of a case where compositing can occur after
color management, and for it to be successful because after compositing
you will get color shifts and even changes in ink limits if it were
done in CMYK.
