NOT hardly!!!!! It's an area that has been ignored by the community, and really can't anylonger unless no one cares about pro. photogs. and graphic artists. If you don't, then I guess you can stick your head in a bucket and go one with what ever it is you do.

Sure, some developers should care about photographs and graphic artists.
But Linux won't fade away in front of windows wixa just because of that.
What have you been smoking these days ?
And instead of shouting around on the openSUSE mailing-list (which is quite off-topic here.. this
isn't a gimp or krita mailing-list) that doom and wrath shall come over Linux because neither gimp
or krita have color profile management, you could actually /do/ something about it, like
- - discussing (I mean discussing, not shouting) about it with gimp or krita developers or on a gimp
or krita mailing-list
- - sponsor some gimp or krita developer(s) to have it implemented instead of spending many bucks on
Photoshop or Windows licenses

He is referring to profiles which are used to match color in/out to different devices, ie: scanner, crt/lcrt, printer....

If you had to do any VERY HIGH END color printing, you'd understand what ISN'T supported in Linux and should be. IF we had PhotoShop and all the software available from Adobe, then it wouldn't be a problem. But, we don't, I doubt we will as MickySoft does all it can to keep that from happening, and those of us (growing number) who MUST have printer profile support in Gimp, etc., WILL be driven back to MickySoft or a MAC and leave Linux. It's that simple. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft. We have no bugs in our software, Never!

A while ago one guy from pantone or colorvision made an aproache to calibrate
Am Do September 15 2005 20:44 schrieb Paul Mansfield: the monitor with some tools like colorvision spider. Unfortunatly this guy I can/t reach via email. Usually it should be possible to make a calibration and create an ICC profile of the used hardware Graphic board and monitor and If Linux or Xwindows is able to use this profile it should be perfect for a suitable colormatching. Software for working with digital photos is available for Linux and works well in openSuSE. What I am missing is just a little. That I can use the same equipement for calibration of the monitor. This tool called spider I can use on a Mac and on a Windows systrem but its a pitty, not in Linux. And when we reach the point that we can get this option in Linux it would be perfect. And for the guy who doen't understand what is colormatching, I suggest you take two machines, install Suse 10.0 and compare this phantastic wallpaper of the cameleon on the screens you will recognize they will look different. Just my five cent. And I didin't talk about printing yet. Manfred Burkert

On screen color isn't my problem......PRINTING is. Getting the image on screen to paper accurately. I have an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 that, for the most part, is worthless for it's intended use.

Fred Ah I understand. I had a simular or even worse problem with my Canon i990. I couldn't print at all from SuSE 9.3 and 10.0. Then I found a driver from ZEDOnet.
It is payware but if you want excellent printing results then it is worth to spend the money. There are plenty options to adjust the colors of printing. You can download a demo version for testing from www.turboprint.de . The software is called Turboprint and run fine. After installation the printer is available as CUPS printer in your network.

I second that.
Turboprint is quite cheap (40 EUR AFAICR) and it works great with a large number of printers.
My Canon i965 works perfectly with it.
Too bad it's not well supported out-of-the-box with OSS software but hey, it's cheap and show
support to a small business that has been implementing Linux printer drivers for many years ;)
And there isn't that much choice. HP inkjet printers s**k, are slow and their ink cardridges are
very expensive. Epson.. well... no OSS drivers either and I had it with Epson in the past.
Canon inkjet printers are the best (IMVHO) and, well, I see those 40 EUR as part of the printer
purchasing price ;)
Apart from that, as Manfred said, Turboprint is perfectly integrated into CUPS and has many options,
also for calibration.
cheers

I refuse to give 1 cent to Mickysoft, and prefer SUSE to anything else. I've had to send most work out, which isn't what I'd prefer to do.

I'm a pro. photog. NONE of us can get the color matching that we MUST have as Gimp CAN'T DO IT, and Linux doesn't support it natively. What MickySoft is going to do in Vista, is VERY smart indeed.......which is a new "twist" for them.

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.
