First Apple needs to get all the product managers for all the OSX
applications to come to some consensus about what they will assume for
untagged documents. For some to assume the monitor profile (which is just
plain dumb and takes color management back to the pre-Photoshop 5 days)
while others assume sRGB (much more logical) is pretty unforgivable for a
company that put color management on the map.
Hopefully Steve will see the sense of making all applications assume sRGB
for untagged documents. Then we can simply provide files in this color space
for applications that have no reason to use document specific color (as
Photoshop) does. There's really little reason to embed even a 4K profile in
every web graphic. It can add up in the end. If you simply upload everything
in sRGB and the browser assumes sRGB but also respects the individual users
display profile for previewing, then assuming users all have a decent
display profile, the previews will match.
Next thing that would be lovely would be for OSX to move away from the silly
assumption of using a 1.8 gamma. Still, if all the applications would simply
use the display profile and recognize embedded profiles or assume sRGB for
untagged images, this would be less an issue.
Of course Tiger will fix all this right????? ;-)
