Safari assumes untagged images to be in the space of the default display's profile. This is the same behavior as Preview, so the nice thing is an image opened in Preview looks the same as an image opened in Safari, whether it has an embedded profile or not. If you have multiple displays you can set which one is the default using ColorSync Utility. Assigning any profile to untagged data is always a guessing game since you have no idea what the creation environment was. A case could have been made on either side of the issue, either assuming sRGB or assuming the display's profile, basically a no op. I imagine the choice came down on the side of assuming the display's profile for untagged data in order to have a unified behavior with other cocoa apps on the system.
Logical. Why is the ColorSync utility required? Why not just choose the display with the menu bar. It is typically considered the "main" display isn't it?
Thanks for the explanation
Regards,
Steve
