You make it seem as if I were disagreeing with you. All I said was that I
wouldn't buy it ONLY to convert profiles. Also, you were under the
impression that one had to own a Chromira. In fact, I already have a full
featured demo on order as we speak to run with my DLab. I've been waiting
over a month due to PMA. Converting from profile to profile doesn't even
require Photoshop for that matter. A batch conversion can be done on the Mac
using a free Applescript that comes with the Colorsync utilities.
