Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

I believe that I am correct in saying that the working space should 
*not* be the monitor profile.  Photoshop automatically uses the 
monitor profile recognized by the operating system (at least on the 
PC).  The working space should represent something like the printer 
space (gamma 2.2, dot gain 20% or something like that).  
Photoshop "translates" from file to monitor and file to printer and 
the use of the monitor profile as working space will defeat the 
entire idea of "color" management.  We are interested in seeing, on 
screen, the printer space.  The monitor profile used as working space 
will limit the printed image to the monitor space.

Perhaps there is something I am misunderstanding in this observation 
and, if so, someone should correct me.

Walt
