Jan-Peter:
So far as I know, several W3C specifications reference, that untagged
data (images and graphic content) should be handled as sRGB in the
document to monitor chain.
The problem here is quite the same, like we have currently in the
printing path:
There are several places, where the transformation from document to
monitor could be applied:
- inside the browser (application level)
- inside the OS (OS level)
- sRGB setting in the monitor hardware (device level)
In think, it is the most important task of the ICC today to develop
recommendations how the different levels of colormanagement should interact:
- application level
- OS level
- device level
I will start also a task about this, at the internal ICC Graphic Arts
Special interest Group and give some feedback to the Colorsync
Mailinglist if something relevant happens there...
Best regards
Jan-Peter
