The source is the Bill Atkinson test image which is in L*a*b*. I took screen
shots of all three instances in Photoshop and then converted them to sRGB.
The shots posted are an accurate representation of what I am seeing with
regards to the specular highlights and the shadows.

All of the profiles I've created exhibit the same behavior as the posted
images. Here's a few of the tests I ran:
targen -v -d2 InvaFPUS_default
printtarg -v -ii1 -pLetter -T InvaFPUS_default
chartread InvaFPUS_default
colprof -v -qu InvaFPUS_default
targen -v -d2 -G -f924 -e8 InvaFPUS_default_e8
printtarg -v -ii1 -pLetter -T InvaFPUS_default_e8
chartread InvaFPUS_default_e8
colprof -v -qu InvaFPUS_default_e8
targen -v -d2 -G -f1848 -e32 -g256 -cInvaFPUS_default_e8.icc
InvaFPUS_Cond_f1848_e32_g256
printtarg -v -ii1 -pLetter -T InvaFPUS_Cond_f1848_e32_g256
chartread InvaFPUS_Cond_f1848_e32_g256
colprof -v -qu InvaFPUS_Cond_f1848_e32_g256
targen -v -d2 -G -f1848 -e32 -g256 -cInvaFPUS_default_e8.icc
InvaFPUS_GamutMap
printtarg -v -ii1 -pLetter -T InvaFPUS_GamutMap
chartread -H InvaFPUS_GamutMap
colprof -v -qu -S AdobeRGB1998.icm InvaFPUS_GamutMap

That was the L*a*b* image.... screenshot and converted to sRGB for posting
on the web. The sRGB images are an accurate depiction of what I'm seeing
when I'm softproofing in Photoshop. This happens not just with one profile,
but all profiles I've created with Argyll so far.

It's just a checkbox in the Photoshop softproofing options. If it's not
present then it has no effect on the image (and indeed I see no change when
toggling it off and on).

Everything is in L*a*b*. The examples posted were to demonstrate the
differences I'm seeing in soft proofing when the printer profile is applied
and they do that accurately. Rendering intent is always perceptual in terms
of soft proofing and in the driver when printing. From what I've read I'm
assuming the default intent for Argyll is perceptual (if I'm not mistaken it
also builds maps in the profiles to support colorimetric and saturation
intents as well but I'm not using those).
