Hi John,

While I'm not quibbling with the decision to remove these settings, it would
be more correct to say these settings are little used, rather than unused,
since I can think of two apps - Photoshop and Nikon Capture - that do use
them. In Photoshop's case, I doubt many users chose this configuration
option in Color Settings. In Capture, however, this is the *only* way to
choose the output RGB and CMYK spaces, which is the reason for my query here
this week.
That said, I hope/suspect that Nikon is beavering away on an update to its
application that will allow the option of all conversions into something
other than the Generic RGB, since based on what you're saying that's the
only practical way to solve my Tiger workflow problem currently.

Thanks for that.
