Yes as long as you don't have much clipping from the larger to smaller
space. Better yet if you can export in 16 bit. Too bad that you can't just
send out raw and tag the profile to that and convert to Jholmes space.
The other spaces are going to clip a lot of data that could be used for
printing on most of today's printers.
