Changes to Change Color Profile dialog

I noticed that in PWP7 there is a slight change in the Change Colour Profile dialog. One advantage of how the old dialog worked was that if the image had an embeded profile that was not installed on the computer, it was used as an Input image profile automatically. In the new dialog one has to explicitly choose a profile, and if it's not installed, explicitly use File/Save Profile and then choose the newly saved profile by hand when converting. What are the practical advantages of the new scheme - or how specifying an input profile that is different from embedded profile could be used?

Cheers!

When using the new Build Scanner/Camera Profile command, the modifications to Change Color Profile let you more easily preview the results of re-tagging an image with the newly created profile and then converting it to the working color space.

I changed the user interface to the Color/Profile transformation so that you have two options for the input profile. You can either retain the original settings which will now work for embedded profiles that are not installed on the system or you can select a new profile. If you then select a new profile, the input image will effectively be re-tagged with the new profile before converting to the output profile.
