Profile setting in P/S ?

[Justin]

Uhm, strange. Is setup not same for both versions of PD?

If you have software as a powerful and as good at colour management as Photoshop do you really need to use power driver when you can use the ICC?

[Justin]

It certainly makes the setup much easier and is supposed to handle multiple profiles in an easier fashion. The Ricohs won't print much better if you manually specify profiles, even customer profiles, they're just 4 colour business printers at the end of the day. I really don't think 99% of folk need anything more than this 'acceptable' output.

Think Paul did show a comparison of the extended colour gamut of using a custom ICC vs the Sawgrass one, equally I'd be surprised if Photoshop wasn't better at printer colour management than PowerDriver. once you have PS and your print driver set up properly with appropriate defaults and presets, then it's only a drop down list to select which ICC profile you're wanting to use.
I can understand that for non-colour managed software that there is a huge advantage to having something like PowerDriver, but when you have something as powerful as Photoshop, it feels like you're crippling a chunk of its functionality to not be using a fully colour managed workflow.

Cheers Tim/Justin, not had a chance to play with it again as yet (domed stuff has gone mental so mega busy with that) but will have a mess later today,
@Justin, to answer the "same settings" , no mate there's a drop down box missing on V3.6 that V4 has....
