If anything could get me to go back to MickySoft, this IS it!!!! pro. photogs and graphic artists who use Linux are at a HUGE disadvantage because there's NO WAY in Gimp to get consistant ACCURATE color matching from the screen to paper, no matter what printer one uses!! This is a VITAL area that I've complained about before and it seems to fall on deaf ears. MickySoft just may be going to do something right for a change.
Hi Fred I use LCMS (http://www.littlecms.com) together with Scribus for DTP. I actually do not know much about color management, but the magazine that came back from the printing factory had the same colors as the PDF file I sent them had on my screen. As far as GIMP is concerned, I found that one: http://www.freecolormanagement.com/color/color_manager.html Seems to be quite old. Did not try it. There is also a quite active mailing list about integrating CM into GIMP-print (called openICC): http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc The website of OpenICC is here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc Perhaps you could help these guys, at least with testing.
