Nope.

Not a bug as the functionality was never provided! QT player is a lot more
sophisticated than Picture Viewer.

If a page layout program does not provide Colorsync support is that too a

I can tell you Apple is looking into using Colorsync API with Quicktime but

handled by different media architectures. I have been able to access
Colorsync color matching with Quicktime but it is not seamless nor elegant
