Thanks for extending on this thought. My goal was simply to point out  
the most obvious offender, which seems to account for the majority of  
non-color managed presentations. I tend to use Lightroom, Bridge, and  
Keynote for various types of presentations. All three are color  
managed, at least to the degree of doing a conversion from the tagged  
space of the image to the display profile, which is the key to color  
correct presentations. Color Management for printing is not as well  
covered, with Lightroom still not qualifying as a properly color  
managed printing application, since it offers only two intents  
(lacking my preferred intent entirely), and has Adobe's Black Point  
Compensation permanently applied (whether you want it or not).
