Hi Rolf,
Thanks for the suggestion to try setting the default profile from the
Panther version of ColorSync Utility (v4.2). This appears at first to work -
the app launches and it's possible to make selections from the three popup
menus - RGB Default, CMYK Default and Gray Default.
But, the settings don't stick, at least not on my test Mac. Quitting
ColorSync Utility, then relauching it, reveals that the three popups once
again say Generic XXX, ie Generic RGB for RGB Default and so on.
And, after setting the RGB Default to Adobe RGB (1998), quitting ColorSync
Utility 4.2, then launching Nikon Capture 4.2.1, it still shows Generic RGB
as the output colour space in its Color Management tab in Preferences.
So, it looks like the Panther ColorSync Utility trick is a no-go.
