Is printer space the custom .icc profile I create for my Epson 9900 and a given substrate?
Yes.
And,
where would I use the printer space in my workflow?
After all other processing is done, when you're ready to print and / or soft-proof. Save the finished image as a TIFF still in your working space, and then use Argyll to convert it to your printer space.
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?
Yes and no. LR might ProPhoto the lease insensible working space available to you. BetaRGB is, for the most part, still the best working space to use otherwise. Regardless, be sure to save the image with your desired working space directly from RPP rather than use Photoshop to convert it from something else. For example, if you're using ProPhoto, save it as ProPhoto directly from RPP and keep the embedded profile in Photoshop.
I mention RPP 64 since it uses Argyll, if I am correct.
I don't believe that's the case, but I could be worng. It certainly doesn't call Argyll as a separate set of executables (that I'm aware of), though it might incorporate some of Graeme's code. Iliah may be able to comment further if it matters.
