When I mentioned that a year ago, I got a nice collection of fruit,
vegetables, and other brickbats thrown at me. ;-)
AISI, unless one has a dedicated system nicely formatted for one (and only
one) type of workflow, as do many shops that specialize in Mac- or
PC-generated printing, working between one type of presentation to several
others--as might be common in non-specialized applications--presents more
profiling problems than the apps might be worth!
I unashamedly use sRGB, even though I *know* other CM systems have a wider
color gamut. It gives me more time for fishing and other "life pursuits,"
and keeps my computer-chair from permanently attatching itself to my butt.
