I think it's a two separate processes, going each by each. It's well
described in ILM proposal (
http://www.openexr.com/OpenEXRColorManagement.pdf ), see (SROM+OMRD) and
(RDPD) there.
So, there is two processes: First (SROM+OMRD) simulates output to virtual
device (printer, for example), which may provide gamut warnings about some
source colors can't be reproduced on that virtual device.
And the second step (RDPD) is output from that virtual device is to be shown
on our preview display, providing gamut warnings about some colors which CAN
be reproduced by our virtual device, but CANNOT be reproduced by our preview
display.
So we have two separate gamut warning mechanisms, with different meanings,
and important thing that if we aren't planning to output image somewhere
else then our monitor, we may skip the first step, staying with only
warnings about false colors on our display.
