Hello,
I do not know if this has been digged up ever again since 2004, but
couldn't find it in the search since key words are so generic, so
just in case:
Now that John Zimmerer has been long gone from Apple, and he seemed
to be one of the key proponents at Apple of Generic RGB as default
profile for non-tagged images because it looks better than when using
sRGB (i.e. nothing to do about consistency, but simply on how
pictures intended for a Generic RGB color space look better when such
one is assumed -duh!-), has the current Colorsync team at Apple any
(same/different) opinion on why things are still the same in Leopard
as were on Panther?
I find it very frustrating how only tagged pictures, and only when
viewed in profile-aware apps, will look the same on all computers?
Not only that, but how even sRGB tagged files will look wrong no
matter what on such a popular app as Firefox too (the fact that
Firefox is not profile-aware is not a thing to blame Apple for, but
it is still Apple's decision to display everything as GenericRGB on
non profile-aware apps, even when those apps display images tagged as
sRGB).
For reference, this is the post that started the thread:
