Hi Rich,
I agree that "Use this instead of an embedded profile when opening files"
doesn't properly describe that it's really the output colour space that's
being chosen. And I also agree that I would have preferred before this for
the Mac version to have its own RGB and CMYK colour management settings,
instead of drawing on those in ColorSync Utility (and before that, in the
ColorSync System Preference, and before that, the ColorSync control panel!).
As for the Color Mode popup on the Advanced RAW palette, in v4.2.1 Mac it
just shows the five Color Mode options, without a colour space tacked on the
end of each option's name. I'm not sure when this change in the UI took
place (I remember the old way where it showed sRGB by I and III, and Adobe
RGB by II), but it works the way I would want now.
To have the Color Mode setting disabled would mean no access to the five
colour looks therein, which I want access to, and to tack on the name of the
output colour space probably wouldn't be feasible since it can be either RGB
or CMYK in Capture currently when saving out files, as you probably know.
