I wouldn't recommend either of them. See<br>
<<a href="http://www.freelists.org/post/argyllcms/Shadow-detail-problem,23" target="_blank">http://www.freelists.org/post/argyllcms/Shadow-detail-problem,23</a>><br>
for some technical details.<br>
<br>
In addition, they both have the problem that they have a disabled<br>
absolute colorimetric intent, which makes them unreliable across<br>
the full range of possible ICC profile usage.<br>
<br>
The sRGB profile supplied with Argyll has been released into the<br>
public domain, and faithfully replicates the behaviour of the<br>
widely used original HP/Microsoft sRGB profile.<br>
