Thanks for the info, that makes perfect sense. I never realized that
the XYZ LUT profiles from other programs always included Matrix
profile tags to fall back on.

I guess that means both Windows and Firefox 3.5 don't support XYZ LUT
profiles, hmm. I was stumped for months about why it wasn't working.
Now that I realize what the problem is, any chance of adding an option
to include those Matrix profile tags to fall back on like other
programs do?
I expect that other profiling applications do that to enable you to
use XYZ LUT profiles as the default monitor profile in Photoshop,
since Photoshop always uses whatever you have installed as the default
profile in Windows. If you have better idea of how to make it the
default monitor profile in Photoshop that would work with the current
version, I'm open for suggestions.
As a somewhat related question, is there any reason why Argyll refuses
to make an ICC 2.4.0 Matrix profile (with A2B & B2A tables) like you
can with LUT profiles?
This is another thing it seems other profiles applications are able to
do (create ICC 2.4.0 matrix profiles), but for some reason Argyll
always makes a ICC 2.2.0 profile whenever you tell it to make a matrix
profile. Am I overlooking something again?
