Well, it got to be doable in the file plug-ins since we don't want to have the core depend on lcms. Applying the embedded profile at load time could very well happen in the file plug-ins though. If the core needs to perform colorspace transformations then we should postpone this whole thing and do it properly with GEGL. Sven
