Frankly, I wouldn't convert to your monitor space, I'd target sRGB.<
And if the monitor would be set to sRGB?
I wouldn't usually do that, but the advantage in that case would be in
having the webstandart (sRGB) equal to the monitorprofile.
workflow proposal: display's profile to sRGB, tiff to sRGB (in PS),
then Panotool would produce a QTVR in the display's profile (=sRGB)
and the viewer, ouuch... most of them will see it in sRGB as well.
Any cons??....
Yeah, pretty much, except setting your display profile to sRGB doesn't
seem like a good idea. sRGB is an abstract standard - I'm not sure what
setting your display profile to an abstract sRGB profile does but it
wouldn't seem much better to me.. the better approach would be to
calibrate and profile your display so it mirrors the main properties of
sRGB as close as it can - you'll probably get in range just by
calibrating to 2.2 gamma. Then just accept the rest as a fundamental
limit of Internet media, Quicktime, etc., and hope that some day all
browsers will properly assume sRGB for untagged images, all monitors
will be reasonably calibrated (and even profiled!), and that it rains
chocolate. We can fantasize, can't we?
