Mr. Sanders:

Being the "photoshop" master you have so abley demonstrated your self to be, can you answer my question I just posted today. It is along these same lines, but I had posted it before I got to this thread.

1998 to SRGB and then back to 1998. Is the 1998 data still there or lost in the the first conversion?

I realize you can't really go from SRGB to 1998, because as you have put it, you are putting half a glass into a whole.

But if your image starts as a 1998 and is converted to SRGB and then saved, and then reopened and converted back to 1998, what then?

I guess what I am asking is whether the profile is simply reading the original data as is, or is it actually rewriting the data and the end of the "conversion".

Hey bro....many thanks for that explanation. I didn't expect such an articulate answer...I'm not deserving of one. I woulda settled for, "because it's just a better idea, dummy...deal with it!"

But many thanks for that value piece of information....and for taking the time to share that education with everyone. I have no doubt you've made a difference to someone shooting out there....ya have for me. Out of all the mentors out there, I always remember your teachings. (it takes a few days for the light bulb to flicker on, but the osmosis is there...)

Many, many thanks again Robert.
