We'll just need to rename this the andrew colorsync mailing list...
Andrew and Andrew, Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate them.
I'm a little disappointed that preview does not utilize the default
colorspace that is defined in the preferences.
I think the hardest part of being a newbie at all of this is that all
the tools try to be smart so you don't have to be. I'm a software
engineer, and I've read enough that I think I understand the concepts
behind colorsync. But between the magic, the bugs, and the
inconsistancies, I just can't tell who is doing what to my image.
Thanks Again,
-Drew

I took a digital image which had no embedded profile, and was not
tagged with a color profile in the EXIF header. I opened it in
Photoshop, and saved a copy with the Adobe RGB 98 profile.
If I open these two images in photoshop (checking "leave as is - don't
color manage), they look identical. If I open them in preview, they
look different.
Why is this?
Your PS working space is probably Adobe RGB & untagged images are
treated as
if they are in your default working space, thus the tagged & untagged
versions look the same in PS. Your Preview application is making a
different
assumption regarding the default profile for untagged files, thus the
AdobeRGB-tagged & untagged versions look different.
