Ben.
I need some clarification. Is printer space the custom .icc profile I create for my Epson 9900 and a given substrate? If not, what is it? And,
where would I use the printer space in my workflow?
I start with sending CR2 image files directly to RPP 64, Raw Photo Processor 64. Then use Lab TIFF 16-bit and open in either Lightroom 4, or
Photoshop CS5. ProPhoto RGB becomes my RGB color working space in PS. LR is Melissa RGB.
Does this make sense?
Melissa RGB is LR’s color working space. Therefore I assume there is no choice of color working space when using LR. I think Melissa RGB is
ProPhoto RGB with 2.2, instead of 1.8. Your comment please.
When sending an RPP 64 image to PS there are some tools not usable in LAB. When I do convert to RGB, I have ProPhoto RGB.
Of course, with RPP 64 I can choose RGB TIFF 16-bit (Beta RGB) and it will stick in PS. Not so in LR. Again, does this make sense?
I mention RPP 64 since it uses Argyll, if I am correct.
Seems Argyll requires putting it together. I don’t know how.
Thanks, Ben.
Cheers

Do everything you want to do in Photoshop in that space. When you're done fiddling with it, do whatever conversions you need to with Argyll. For example, convert from your working space to your printer's space; when you open the file in Photoshop, keep the printer's space as the tagged profile, and there's your soft proof. When you print, pick your printer's space as both source and destination and there's your managed print.
