Many thanks for your reply and for analyzing the issue, Hans.
I know this is a compromise solution. Of course, I cannot expect from
ConTeXt to assign the right profile to the image.
The user is the one that might mess the final PDF document by selecting
the wrong color profile for \externalfigure. But this possibility is
already there with the profile key in \setupbackend.
Choosing the right profiles is up to the user. Wrong attribution causes
unvalid documents, but attribution is a user task. Explaining this
information in the wiki is essential to clarify that “feature”. (I can
do that myself.)
Having this in mind, could you reconsider the implementation of the
profile key implemented for \externalfigure?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
