Logical. Why is the ColorSync utility required? Why not just choose the

And why hardwire the associated display profile in the code: why not simply
make it a user selectable choice like in Internet Explorer? Set it at some
default value in the code (either sRGB or Monitor) but make an interface for
the user to select which one he prefers to use among the list of avaiable
monitor profiles. Is that too difficult to implement? Same for iPhoto.
