displaying photos correctly in apps without color management

I would add that any crushing or clipping would not be recoverable, and I am unaware of any processing apps that are capable of reversing the negative out-of-gamut values.

I’ve written software (Putting OOG back in the box, and other software not yet published) that happily accepts sRGB (or other) values outside the range 0 to 100%, and can manipulate it in various ways to push it back inside gamut.

But if values have already been crushed to 0 or clipped to 100%, recovering that lost data is more difficult: we need to guess what the OOG values were before we can push them inside gamut.
