WE? Zero difference in the outcome but more more control and options
in Convert to Profile including a soft proof as you toggle rendering
intent plus its independent of profile color settings (pick any
profile you wish). You didn’t know that?
Personally, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than let Photoshop
handle something as important as a colour conversion.
And not just RGB to CMYK either. I ran some tests printing directly
from CS4 to an Epson 9880 using Premium Lustre Photo paper last week.
Converting from working space to printer profile outside of Photoshop
and then sending the image to the printer with colour management
switched off gives a better result than letting Photoshop do the same
conversion on the fly.
The test image was Bill Atkinson's Twenty-Eight Balls -- supposedly
built to test profiles and printers. Odd that nobody but me has
thought about factoring in Photoshop as the culprit for a good
proportion of the banding and clipping that you'll see in the printed
result :)
