Hi,
Thank you for the response.
Can you please clarify the following?
1. LUT-based display ICC profiles did load and function on macOS 10.7 through macOS 13, including profiles generated by DisplayCAL, X-Rite i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS.
• They were selectable in Display Preferences
• ColorSync showed the LUTs in A2B0/B2A0
• Measurement reports confirmed the LUT corrections were applied
• This behavior regressed starting around macOS 14
2. If LUT profiles were “never supported”, can Apple confirm:
• Why they worked for over a decade?
• Why ColorSync accepted them?
• Why the system UI allowed activating them?
• Why professional color workflows relied on them successfully?
3. If LUT profiles are now intentionally unsupported, can Apple provide:
• An official statement
• Updated developer documentation
• Recommended alternative APIs or workflows for users needing high accuracy calibration?
Given how many professionals rely on LUT-based profiling, this is critical information.
