For instance the separate plug-in from Alastair M. Robinson and the color-manager from Karl Heinz Kremer need to detect lcms separately from the main app. These are plug-ins helping to work with different colour spaces. Will they not included in gimps main release? To my plans. As I was asked by users to make cinepaints tiffreader compile in gimp because of its multilayer capabilities I like to reach the most common behaviour. Recently I started to use lcms to convert undisplayable colour spaces to RGB. So I am now able to open CMYKs and Lab to an visible image. But it is not clear at the moment how to handle it at all. Maybe the upcoming CMS framework of gimp is an better solution to handle this. Next would be to apply an embedded profile to the image data and load the converted image into the app. This could help to justify the workspace. Other CMS issues stay on my plan. I found tiff has very good colour management capabilities, so I work mostly on supporting this format. I liked to offer the compatible plug-in with all features of gimp plug-in and the additionals of cinepaint for gimps 2.0 realease. At the moment Recently a friend and I managed the plug-in to compile with gimp-1.3.23 . This is part of what I plan to give back to gimp. To work for both apps at once makes it more likely that people will enjoy the advantages of tiff . Hope this helps avoiding some further code duplication. Kai-Uwe
