Sorry Jim, I'm not familiar with Pauls workflows, do you set color
management to (no color adjustment) in PS6?

In PS7 when you choose color management > source/print spaces and intent,
then go back to the print driver dialogue it doesn't allow you to choose "no
color adjustment"  like in PS6..  So is PS7 assuming "no color adjustment"
when a source/print space is selected?

I'm going to have to actually read the manual. Something is strange to me.

When printing from PS7, using a source and print space, the print dialogue
is set in stone at automatic. This is not the same as PS6.  I have not
noticed this before today as I print thru pressready.

That would certainly change your file, if one were actually using auto and
the other "no color adjustment"... again though, I use NCA in my work flows
with profiles etc but don't know how your workflow is effected.

I thought perhaps it was converting / mapping differently, but not that the
spaces are different. Also checked the older engines... but same variances.
That subtle difference should not be leading to such a difference in your
print in my opinion. So I wonder if it is the above.  I'll check the manual,
and perhaps a post to adobe forums... or search for further info there.

Or if this has been discussed I missed it...
