Oh, true, I remember that in Photoshop as well. I've never bothered with it
because I never had to,
and of course because I didn't know what it was for.
Well I knew about (s)RBG and CMYK, but I didn't think of these as color
profiles for some reason.
So since most screens are innacurate (specially laptops),
at least it keeps the numeric color display consistent. Interesting.
Then this might be of interest :
