What does that mean Roger? Are you stating that there are NO shops in the US conforming to TR001? Let's even forget about the rest of the world where AFAIK, it's not illegal for some print shop to target that kind of conversion based on their press behavior.
> The fact that many unknowledgeable users (whatever their number is) and a few less scrupulous RIP manufacturers (the better RIP manufacturers don't do this at all) continue using SWOPv2 as a source or destination color space is a testimony that color does not matter all that much anymore.
There's only one really right answer here and lots of wrong ones. As I've said, you either know how to target a conversion, CMYK or othterwise, or you don't. Unless you are absolutely certain that the existence of TR001/SWOPV2 has ceased to exist on this planet, it IS the proper option for those users.
Just what are you proposing? Eliminating the install of the SWOPV2 profile serves no purpose. Change the default CMYK setting in Color Settings from SWOPV2? That alone will solve the issues of uneducated users picking the wrong profile?
That's not going to happen in Photoshop. We still have the dreadful legacy CMYK engine in PS that greatly predates ICC color management implemented in 1998. Now if you want to write an Automate script that changes the profile to (dog knows what), and think that will solve what you appear to believe is a huge color problem, I'd be happy to help. How this automate function would correctly understand what profile to install (since this issue is with users who don't know otherwise) will be the tought part!
