As far as viewing the color seps...the difference you are seeing has nothing to do with color profiles. It's just the way it displays it on screen. It shouldn't alter the way it is output.

Also what kind of monitor are you viewing it on? I've found a lot of times if you are viewing a very dark image on an LCD monitor it will look okay on screen but then it is very dark when output. Could this be the case?
I shall try redoing the image from the original, it's probably the best option. I've included an image of the colour settings in PS of the TIFF I used. Which profile should I start off with (I'm in Britain, btw)? Should I just try and turn profiles off as I move from program to program? Annoying thing about this is, because I'm jumping from PS to ID to Acrobat, there's 3 places I could be going wrong, instead of 1, makes it hard to pin down the problem.

I'm on a Macbook Pro, on Apple LCD display settings. The thing is, it's not just a dark image, it's a completely black image, with only the whitest bits showing (i.e. a few little specks). I will upload a photo of the film to show you what I mean.
