Fine.

Well, this only applies on *display* profiles. On all other cases
you need to store the media chromaticity adapted to D50. The CHAD is used
to store the illuminant. So, if you create a profile for a printer using
bond paper, and you use a F11 as light source, you need a CHAD from F11 to
D50 and then the white of bond paper adapted as seen under D50

Why? You can just do something like:
cmsMAT3 Matrix = {...};
cmsWriteTag(hProfile, cmsSigChromaticAdaptationTag, (void*) &Matrix);
This works fine on profiles allocated by cmsCreateProfilePlaceholder
But of course, the calculation of the matrix is then up to you...
Otherwise I still don't understand where the issue is :-?

Marti
