Profile Conversion Engines

Does anyone know anything about the differences between ACE and the Microsoft conversion engines?

I can see that they give different results, but does one have advantages over the other?

Regards,

They shouldn't unless you hit a bug. The differences between CMM's should be no more than about 1-3% per color channel. I'd stick with ACE in all cases UNLESS you are planning to do colorspace conversions outside of an Adobe product that supports ACE and an Adobe that supports it as you'll end up with differences that could be a problem. IOW, stick with one CMM for all conversions. Since ACE isn't available outside of Adobe applications, this could be a factor if you're doing in RIP conversions or using other methods to convert a file (like a camera capture product).
