Hello Elle,
Color management is a hard subject. In the gimp-users list, questions
about color management are rare, because common users don't use it,
because they don't understand it.
In the other hand, this document will be interesting for users who know
color management.
Your participation is a chance for gimp-help. I think we can keep this
text as it is, but a tutorial about color management for newbies becomes
necessary.
Only small remarks:
- Precise that these options belong to the Mode item.
- All elements of a dialog must be described, even if they look evident,
because they might not be evident for some users: function, what are
they useful for?
-"linearized RGB" needs a link.
All the best,
Julien

As my first attempt at trying to help with updating the documentation, I
want to try to update the Colors/Desaturate/Desaturate documentation to
be current with some recent patches.
It will be easier for me to work with XML once I know what content I
want to put into the XML files. So I revised the html file for the
Colors/Desaturate/Desaturate menu and posted the revision to my
website. Here's the (very temporary) link:
http://ninedegreesbelow.com/files/desaturate/8-18-desaturate.html
Feedback on the revision is greatly appreciated. If I've used too many
words, too long sentences, strayed into too much detail, made any
blatant mistakes, etc, please let me know and I'll try again.
If I don't receive any negative feedback (or no feedback at all) in
the next day or so, I'll assume my revision is "content OK" and will
port the revised content over to the XML documents.
On the one hand, there have been a lot of major changes to GIMP's
"color management/color mixing/layer blending" code, that needs
corresponding revision in the documentation.
On the other hand, the articles and tutorials I've written for my
website tend to be overly wordy and technical.
So I want to make sure I'm hitting the right balance of "too little vs
too much information" before heading into the deeper waters of the
color management documentation. Which is why I'm asking for feedback
on the Desaturate menu revisions.
Best,
Elle
