Thanks much for this introduction to selecting colorspaces. Seems
I've got a lot more to learn.
Up till now, I've been mostly printing with Photoshop's (etc.)
perceptual intent, as that's produced the best results for the
kinds of photos I've been printing. Some large-gamut images have
lost their punch, though, and I've attempted manual adjustments
with the soft proof and gamut warning turned on. At first glance,
I got better results...but I also completely obliterated the
detail in the photo.
Now I've got a good idea of where to start in figuring out how to
solve the problem correctly. Like I said: thank you!
Cheers,

P.S. Damn you, too, for opening my eyes, making me take the time
to learn new things, and all that. But don't worry. I don't hate
you for it. Much. b&
P.P.S. I'm mostly working with RAW files from a Canon 300D; I use
Adobe Camera Raw to get it into Photoshop in the ProPhoto
colorspace, and then convert immediately to BruceRGB for a working
space. And, yeah, some of the images really do have that big a
gamut. I just don't (yet) know the best way to deal with 'em. On
the other hand, they also tend to be the photos with the trickiest
lighting, with a few blown highlights and some invisible shadows--
direct sunlight on an Arizona summer afternoon, for example. b&
