Chris,

not consider the well behaved output of any/all ProPhoto RGB (or

successful CMS performance.

This is a very sensible statement. Which raises the issue of just
what to
based a profile conversion's results evaluation on. What are your
thoughts
on that? Would you care for using some standard ISO sRGB or Lab images
(ISO-12640), as a starting point, so we could all be on the same
page? Or
would you have something else in mind?
As well as seeing plenty of SWOP CMYK making it into the proofing
queues for ISO Coated v2 I'm also seeing more and more ProPhotoRGB
files coming in for separation or retouching.
Adobe have made this a "standard" for wide gamut images and there are
plenty of photographers wandering around with the sincere belief that
processing RAW files into anything smaller will destroy valuable data
in their images.
These images are one edit away from the imaginary colours which you
can see ruining the "blue balls" of the Twenty-Eight Ball test chart.
Somebody has to deal with this when the images are converted for print
-- how are we to explore these problems without using synthetic
targets in an Adobe recommended colour space?
Again I'd suggest looking outside of Photoshop to handle conversions
from ProPhotoRGB.
A practical solution offered by the ArgyllCMS is per-image gamut
analysis prior to conversion.
