Good news (if it is consistently borne out - pardon my reticence).
That's a change from Leopard then. I recently did this exact test under
Leopard (or rather I convinced a printer acquaintance of mine to do it!) and
found the photoshop printed target deviated from the preview one by more
than the error of measurement. I was under the impression that Snow Leopard
enforced a conversion to sRGB colour space for untagged data?
Glad to hear it works as it eliminates my last reason for needing to use
Photoshop. I can gimp happily away now.
