If you select "Color management Off", you'll likely default to a monitor
profile. But if you start with the default position of US prepress, the
working space goes to aRGB.

I've been under the impression that some icc profiles were for the
hardware, and the sRGB, a RGB, Prophoto, etc. were color spaces for the
image, and other profiles were for paper and printer combo's.

Put another way, I set my monitor to my calibrated [icc Spyder] profile,
so that every application displays "under it", including, of course, PS,
but you don't select that profile when using PS color management dialogs.

Thank you for the repost John, I had not read the group for a couple of weeks,
and just saw it.

I did not select the Spyder profile in CS2, but CS2 did notice that it was
the selected monitor profile, as seen in the dropdown for selecting working spaces.

Thanks again,
