I should have stated my question better. I understand that it is
basically a hopeless task and that what you suggest is the best I could
do.
So let me ask two questions.
1. Given my monitor is already calibrated/profiled, how would I go
about editing as if I were using a "standard" SRGB monitor?
2. Given that I've already edited the photos, how to I go about
transforming them so the results are close to what I would have got as
in question 1?
