I'm concerned that the leaf in the center has lost all detail.

I'm not familiar with specifying the gamut mapping. Are you saying I
should specify that the profile is to be used only with, say, images that
are in the sRGB space?
I've never had to do this with Monaco OptixPro software, and it doesn't
produce the posterization so I was surprised to see posterization in
Argyll. I tried creating the profile again with -qh and it improved
somewhat; I'm tempted to try -qu now ;-)

Don't know - can you tell by the commad line?

Don't know - must you specifiy this? I thought that was an optimization
only, that you could still get a good profile without limiting it to one
source profile?

Using MS or Adobe color engine - are they passive? I don't know for sure
what the difference is.
