Some profiles don't have tone reproduction curves, we should ideally still support them.

May be related to bug #463221.

This is also needed to support the iccv4 example profiles on http://www.color.org/version4html.xalter

Attachment: Argyll CMS XYZ LUT

Valid Argyll CMS XYZ-LUT profile without rXYZ, bXYZ, gXYZ, rTRC, bTRC, and gTRC tags that doesn't work with Firefox 3.5.x on Windows XP.

For the previous attachment, I'm unsure if this means qcms doesn't support XYZ-LUT profiles, since according to the developer of Argyll CMS, the rXYZ, bXYZ, gXYZ, rTRC, bTRC, and gTRC are matrix specific profile tags and have nothing to do with the functionality of LUT profiles.

Most profiling applications add the matrix profiles tags to their LUT profiles as a fall back, leaving it up to the application to choose which to use. So while it may have been originally thought that qcms worked with LUT profiles, maybe it really was only using those fall-back matrix profile tags within the LUT profiles.

In other words, since qcms won't work without matrix profile specific tags preset, maybe it doesn't support LUT profiles at all?

If this is the case, maybe another bug needs to be opened to add support for XYZ LUT profiles in qcms?

I've confirmed that indeed qcms doesn't support LUT profiles (both LAB and XYZ).

Since the core issue is more accurately the lack of support of LUT profiles, rather then the lack of support of profiles without tone reproduction curves, I've opened a new bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538114

This feature was added to qcms but requires the v4 feature to be enabled. Closing as fixed but this will require bug 679875 to be on by default.
