ColorSync preferences (use that selected profile).

Yeah I thought about that, but really that's a more intermediate-advanced need. I think that should be provided in the application itself if you want to assume something other than sRGB as source. Doing this at a system level would cause untagged images to look different on potentially every workstation. I don't think that would be good for most of Apple's customers. I think it should just be sRGB and forget it until there is something more applicable than sRGB to assume for untagged objects. And then it takes the effort off the user, off the application vendor for consistent display. If they don't like sRGB for some reason, then that's a good reason for them to start embedding (or tagging) files, and submitting that information to the OS so it can do display compensation.
