-- Hi Andrew. Yes, it's those smaller spaces - exporting sRGB jPegs, even
Adobe RGB - that's where I miss the ACR-style behavior.

-- I came to appreciate how ACR displays RGB numbers & histograms based on
the color space chosen for 'export' - and am disappointed LR doesn't. I
could care less about its internal working space, especially since it's
unclear exactly how LR transforms data from melissa RGB into the export
color space.

-- seems like they've created an interesting dilemma there. Don't you think
that in order to allow soft proofing, they'll have to implement some
mechanism like ACR's connection from internal to 'export' color spaces? If
so, why not bite the bullet & give the interface something like ACR's RGB
display?
