This is the first time a lot of devs on other projects have ever heard of this specification, and there's some interest in learning more about it to improve support in future versions.

Re: [Lcms-user] Pentax JPG and TIF Files
This is quite normal. No dslr I know embeds a profil into the jpgs nor into the raws. It is allways just a flag in the exif-data. For Adobe RBG the filename starts with an underscore as a second hint. It is up to the application to interpret these flags. Blame the gimp people for this ;-) By the way: The Exif-flag method is quite stupid and not save. You can easely create a jpg with a confusing setup: - exif-flag says sRGB - name begins withs underscore - eci-RGB profil is embedded I did not test whether the display of my K10D or K-7 can handle AdobeRGB correct. Maybe they just show the tiny preview/tumbnail that is normally not color managed.

I guess that depends on whether I did it right. I used: mogrify -strip filename.jpg Does that remove just the EXIF metadata, or other stuff too? In any case, doing this did cause Photoshop to no longer recognize a color profile for this image. So I guess the color profile is only listed as part of the EXIF data after all and not embedded in the file (just like someone else mentioned already).
