Hey Chris.
The main reason for converting to Adobe 1998 is consistency of color
workspace in a variety of input and output types. I often combine scans with
digital images from a camera and I have three different primary machines
that I work on, one at home, one in my office, and one dedicated to a 9600
for printing. Call me anal, but I am an old school photographer working in a
new age, and have to have that total control feeling of using a single
enlarger, mixing chemistry myself, and scrubbing trays until they are
surgically clean. I suppose I overdo many things......
cheers
