I think I better "tag" John, now... ;o)

You see, I only have Photoshop version 6 here so John's remarks are
much more appropriate. PS 6, for example, totally ignores EXIF data
and strips it all away when the file is saved (a major annoyance for
my digicam images!).

Yes, it was when I upgraded to CS2 from Photoshop 6 that the problem with
the EXIF profile first reared its head - before that, images saved from
NikonScan with CM off came in untagged as they should.

That's very important! I saved the message and I made a mental note
for when I take the plunge and upgrade PS. It won't be until I get a
new computer, though.

In my case it's pulling of hair and climbing of walls but the end
result is the same. ;o)

What actually
pointed me in the right direction was the name of the sRGB profile - it
wasn't sRGB IEC61966-2.1 or Nikon sRGB - just plain sRGB. So I looked at the
EXIF data and there it was. I still don't understand why that profile is
there though - I assume that it's a default that doesn't get removed rather
than a deliberate insertion.

I think you're right. It's probably one of those "it will be
overwritten anyway because everybody will embed a profile".

Well, they sure didn't count on us contrarians, did they! ;o)

Don.
