You can do this in Photoshop by going to View:Proof Setup:Monitor
RGB.
Interesting! Is there a way for the user to do it at the Mac OS X
level, rather than in Photoshop?
For color managed apps, it must be done in each app. For OS X apps,
like Preview, then you just need to make sure that the embedded profile
in a document is the same as the display profile, then no transform
will occur.

RGB will send untagged RGB straight to the screen. (All files are
untagged to CMS-unaware apps.)
I think anything untagged is considered to be monitor RGB and thus gets
a null transform. I have a test image with no embedded profile (it's a
TIFF), and when I drop it on Preview I see the same thing no matter
what I set as the RGB Default in the ColorSync panel. This is odd
considering what the description in the Default Profiles tab says:
Use this panel to specify default profiles for each color space to be
used when a document does not contain embedded profiles.
This implies these settings affect the display of documents that don't
contain embedded profiles - but at least in my case these settings
aren't doing that for either RGB or CMYK in Preview. It definitely sees
embedded profiles though.
