For test purposes, I have created an RGB test profile (with Display

my display changes color, be it from TextEdit, Preview, whatever -
even
movies in DVDPlayer.
When you create a profile with Display Calibrator Assistant, you're
not only
creating a profile, but also a calibration. In short, selecting that
profile
in Displays actually modifies the display, as if you had turned the
knobs on
it (if it had knobs!).
I'm well aware of that. But I mean, that's all a display profile is
about, isn't it?
So that's why you see everything displayed in every app change.
Yes, of course. But this is fine. It is why I want to apply a display
profile. A display profile obviously belongs to a specific display, not
a specific document.
Maybe if your try instead selecting something weird such as Wide Gamut
RGB or
AdobeRGB you can see the effect you want...
Misunderstanding. With the display profile, it *is* exactly the effect
I expected to see.
What I don't understand is why the same doesn't work with printers and
printer profiles. (I.e. that a printer profile "actually modifies this
printer, as if I had turned the knobs on it (if it had knobs!)" - so
that there would be no need for individual apps to care about printer
profiles.)
