Sam,
Though the results MAY be the same on the final output, there are
differences between the methods. Changing modes does indeed dictate
conversion profiles, but only in tag form. If the final output device does
not support profiles (i.e. legacy devices or service provider preferences,
etc.) these settings are ignored. Performing a profile to profile remaps the
actual values in the image file, thus altering the file to achieve the
desired result. As always, it is best to call your provider prior to
starting any job, to verify their preffered CM workflow and job submission
specs.

I have a Photoshop question for the list.

There are 2 ways to convert an image from one color

1) Set up the color settings menu with the proper

The color settings dictate the conversion profiles.

2) Pull down to the Profile to Profile or Convert to

profile under the mode change menu. You then select

the proper to and from profiles and convert with.

I have been under the impression that these

procedures render exactly the same results. I have

Profile to Profile method (Number 2). Has anyone on

so, are there any differences in the resulting files?

Thanks in advance for any information made available.
