MacBook Pro 14"/16" Auto Display Settings

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet. The new MacBook Pro 14"/16" feature incredible displays with novel adjustment options. It would be super convenient, if there would be an option in CaptureOne to automatically default to a defined display calibration setting (e.g. "Photography P3-D65") when launching C1. By doing this color space, Kelvin, luminance and True Tone would be adjusted). When you close CaptureOne it would revert to the previous setting. I know this might not be such an issue for Pro Photographers who do use their machines solely for editing, but for everybody else in a mixed environment this would be very useful. There are no utility apps or reliable scripts around (yet) to automate this feature. I am using TrueTone most of the time except for editing. Sometimes I forget and then the edits are off.

tell application "System Preferences"
activate
reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
end tell

tell application "System Events"
tell application process "System Preferences"
tell window "Displays"
click pop up button "Presets:" of group 1
click menu item "Photography (P3-D65)" of menu 1 of pop up button 1 of group 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
quit application "System Preferences"

Hello Karel,

Thank you! I tried the script. Got an error though (System Events got an error: Can't get window "Displays" of application process "System Preferences"). I guess I will figure that out ;) Right now I have the "Displays" in the menu and switch from there. The only issue is, sometimes I do forget and then the edits are a bit off ;) An automated solution within C1 would be the much preferred solution.
