I can't see this...
As a more extreme experiment, I took
<http://www.lysator.liu.se/~ture/swapredblue.icm>, which is a modified
version of a standard sRGB profile I found somewhere (I'm probably
violating somebody's copyright by publishing the modification...) and
set it as my monitor profile (Apple->System settings, Color, select
the profile). This profile swaps red and blue; if you assign it to a
normal RGB image that image will then look really weird in a colour
managed app. Then I opened <ftp://ftp.crimson.se/pub/provbild.jpg>
(test image from a swedish photo lab, see it in context on
<http://www.crimson.se/info.html?setB=16>), which has an embedded
profile, in Preview.app.
I now expected that all colour managed apps, including Preview, would
believe that my monitor's red phosphor was actually blue and vice
versa, and display images according to that. However, no such thing
happened. All images in all apps looked quite normal. Why?
