I understand what you mean. Sure it's always active and honored in PS.
That's the reason why I wrote "switch colormanagement off", because
you can not turn colormanagement off in PS (even when it says so in
the color settings of PS... ;-). But the effect is like when there
would be no colormanagement for the display. We meant the same, but
just used different words.
Kind regards
