Bruce,
Generic RGB Profile.icc is the default profile for untagged RGB images
on Panther. Its primaries allow for blue skies and red apples. By using
this as the default, all untagged color will be consistent across all
Panther machines.

My understanding is that sRGB will remain the default for untagged

8-bit/channel RGB IS sRGB, seems an entirely rational choice, sRGB
limitations notwithstanding.)
I'd love to hear a rational argument as to why usermonitorRGB is a
better default for untagged RGB than sRGB. If you assume sRGB you at
least have a hope of achieving similar appearance on all machines. If
you assume usermonitorRGB, which seems to be the current case, you
guarantee that the file will look different on every machine. That
does not seem a desirable color management outcome...

So, is Microsoft taking the lead as far as color management is
concerned
these days? How come the Apple web site does not have such a wealthy
section
on color management (as MS does) and, yet, you were there way before
them?
