Doyle,
No, my friend does NOT have PS, but I do. And since I'm outputting the
target TIF's from ProfileMaker for him to print, prior to my measurements
for profiling, I could certainly take the untagged RGB images into Photoshop
and assign or convert to any profile. But as the "visual" appearance of the
targets most certainly changes when I assign, for example, AdobeRGB, is this
not changing the color values and hence affecting the ultimate profiling? I
thought the process of passing the untagged images through to the printer AS
IS, was essential to creating accurate profiles? If I'm wrong, please
explain. And please advise the best procedure of how I should assign or
convert these images in PS before passing on to my friend for printing via
Aperture. By the way, he DOES have Photoshop Elements and PREVIEW, as
previously discussed in this thread. I'm not familiar with Elements, but is
it similar to PS in that he can print the untagged images through Elements
without assigning or converting the images to a profile?
Thanks again to everyone for all your help. I appreciate your patience.
Bob

It appears that Aperture does not do any conversion, so this does work as
the target matchs an unmanaged target from PS. Also sizing is a bit tricky
when printing from Aperture. You want to use Custom Size set to the exact
size of the target and the Border Option to 0.

But I am assuming based on the original problem that the friend does not
have PS, so he needs to use the Embed Colorsync script which does work or do
you have another recommendation to assign a printer profile to the target.
That is any RGB printer profile that you can select in Apertures print
dialog.
