Photoshop has been using color management for a long time, and
the people responsible for it's color management know what they
are doing. While there are a few quirks with how it is configured,
or what it may be doing in particular situations, it's behaviour
has proven to be reliable, and is often something other CMM's benchmark against.

One way of trying to figure things out is to use Argyll cctiff. You need
a piece of software you can have confidence in displaying an
image without altering its values, and then use cctiff to
be your CMM. This gives you an explicit workflow you can benchmark
other programs against.
