As to Preview, it's not color managed like Photoshop so it's just

the RGB numbers to the screen. It's acting like most of the dumb web

with how your display behaves (something like ColorMatch RGB for Mac
users
or sRGB for PC users). That doesn't mean the preview is correct! But
it's as
close as you can get with a non color managed application.
Andrew,
you cited this reason in the past ... to me in fact, when I was having
trouble with some apps apparently applying profiles twice ... or
something. An intermittent problem I've never got to the bottom of.
Anyway, unless I'm misunderstanding what appears to be pretty
straightforward explanations on the Apple Colorsync website (perfectly
possible!) what you say above, is completely wrong.
According to the docs I've read, MacOS X's built-in apps, are by
definition ColorSync aware because ColorSync is fundamentally built-in
to MacOS X. So... Preview, Mail, Safari, iChat, KeyNote, Image Capture
etc. etc. are all fully ColorSync aware.
At the risk of being cheeky ... perhaps you should read the ColorSync
Technology Overview PDF. *:)
