After reading what Jim had to say, I should amend by previous post by
proposing a two profiles approach. Offer a first pull-down for the
'Reference Color space' for all untagged images. It should be set by
default
to sRGB.
This choice is so obvious I can't see why anybody would want to make it
configurable. Of course untagged images are sRGB, that's the web
standard. What else cold you sensibly select in such a preference
setting?
So if you want that, use an "advanced" kind of preference that doesn't
confuse ordinary users like me who simply would think there's no choice
to be made here.
Then offer a second pull-down menu for the 'Destination Color
space' profile. That second profile should be set by default to the
Monitor
profile currently selected in the Monitor System Preferences.
What should a "Destination color space" be in that context? To display
that image on my monitor, obviously a display profile is needed. To
print the image, a printer profile is needed. Of both, the operating
system should take care.
What could make sense (not sure about that) is to offer a gamma
adjustment for that hideous PC <-> Mac gamma thing, that influences
both displaying and printing.

Uli
