I agree, sticking with 10.3.x is the most practical thing to do until such
time as Nikon either identifies a sensible workaround or releases an update.
Of course, the reason I know this would be the most practical thing to do is
I already updated to 10.4 and found out once there that 10.3.x would make
more sense...
That said, the actual impact on my own workflow isn't catastrophic, in as
much as almost everything I shoot with a Nikon camera is and has been on
Color Mode II, which is linked to Adobe RGB (unless the now-broken prefs in
Capture are set to override that link).
So, when Capture handles Color Mode II files through to completion right now
it saves them with a Nikon Adobe RGB profile embedded (which is 99.8% the
same internally as Adobe's Adobe RGB (1998), and in fact doesn't prompt a
profile mismatch when opening into Photoshop).
When I open these files into Photoshop I can assign the *real* Adobe RGB
profile to these photos and continue on from there, since I'd just as soon
not share with a client a pic with an embedded Nikon Adobe RGB profile. This
will be an unnecessary point of confusion for them (well, so is any embedded
profile for that matter, but that's a comment about the colour management
savvy of some of the people I sell pictures to and is an entirely separate
discussion).
My preference would obviously be to hard-wire my preferred RGB profile in
Capture's prefs, as was possible prior to 10.4's installation, and that's
the reason I started this thread in the first place. But I can live with my
workaround, and prefer that to even mild system hacking (though I appreciate
those who took the time to suggest and explain doing this) for the moment.
