Default color-profile for images without one?

[Fritz_H]

The Camera-App on my Samsung Smartphone is able to save Photos in JPG- and in HEIC-Format.
When opening the JPGs, Photo converts them to my working-profile.
But when opening the HEIC-Images, Photo assigns my working-Profile (...which results in wrong colors..) since there is no color-profile-info in the file, Photo says.
(if that is true, that is Samsung´s fault - no doubt...)

How about an option to tell Photo which color-profile to use/assume in case this info is missing in a file?
Or, even better: ask me which (source-) profile to use during import?

If there is no embedded profile there's really no way to "convert" from one, and "assign" is all that's possible. And in "assigning" it Photo is using the one you've told it to use.

Can you provide one of the HEIC images that has this problem?

Perhaps I could not explain my suggestion properly:
I suggest that Photo "temporarily adds" Color-Profile-Info to an image during import to be able to do a conversion to the working profile.
Im my case the HEIC-Images looked OK as soon as I assigned sRGB. (the images are about 10MB big - makes me hesitate to post them here..)
