I'm not debating the merits of sRGB or any other kinds of "standard" RGB.
(Incidently, I heard the s in sRGB stands for Stokes as in Michael
Stokes...).
It just breaks my heart to see how little is Apple "donating" in terms of
color management information, nowadays (I know they can be credited for
maintaining a ColorSync.com site for so long), as opposed to that Microsoft
page JZ cited in his reply. And what breaks my heart further is that
Microsoft is not hidding their intention, it's all there on their web site.
Whereas with Apple, it's not exactly a participative process, etc, etc.
That was all my point. Apple was there the first with CMS but now, looks lke
they're dropping the ball. Sorry. I should have changed the title of the
thread.
