Hi Mark,
the "sRGB Profile.icc" from Apple is not based on the "ITU-R BT
709-5" primaries
it is based on "ITU-R-709-2" primaries like the original "sRGB
IEC61966-2.1" (sRGB Color Space Profile.icm) profile
made by HP in 1998.
Here you will find the following primaries:
Red
X: 0.4361 ; Y: 0.2225 ; Z: 0.0139
Green
X: 0.3851 ; Y: 0.7169 ; Z: 0.0971
Blue:
X: 0.1431 ; Y: 0.0606 ; Z: 0.7141
sRGB dosn't has a gamma of 2.2!
It has a curve function that is close to 2.2 but not the same.
Function:
if ( x <= 0.03928)
y = y / 12.92
else
y = ((0.055 + x) / 1.055) ^ 2.4
This is the biggest difference between the original profile and the
one apple has made.
Take the same image and assign both profiles and you will see the
difference in the
very dark colors.
I hope this helps a little bit.
Best regards,
Clemens Beisch

Hello list,
I'm currently reading some documents about color spaces. I have the
in formation about various color spaces in front of me and I just
thought, cool, now let me check how this looks like in reality.
So I opened up the /System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB
Profile.icc profile.
To my surprise none of the values I have about sRGB can be found
on the profile - how can that be - can someone demystify this to me?
Here's what I have on sRGB (and that I mostly cannot find on the
profile):
1) Primaries / Phosphors (ITU-R BT 709-5)
R G B
X 0,64 0,30 0,15
Y 0,33 0,60 0,06
Z 0,03 0,10 0,79
2) White Illuminant (D65)
X 0,3127
Y 0,3290
Z 0,3583
3) XYZ to RGB Matrix
X 3,2405 -1,5371 -0,4985
Y -0,9693 1,8760 0,0416
Z 0,0556 -0,2040 1,0572
4) RGB to XYZ Matrix
X 0,4125 0,3576 0,1804
Y 0,2127 0,7152 0,0722
Z 0,0193 0,1192 0,9503
5) Gamma
2,2
Regards
Mark
