You misunderstood me. What I was saying is that GIMP 2.0 has the API to implement all this and I would have loved to see this added about a year ago when it was proposed quite detailed already. Since that didn't happen we can now also do some useful changes to the modules API and to the core to integrate it even better. GimpDisplayConfig is however definitely the wrong object to add this stuff to. I will try to write down my ideas on how to share color management configuration somewhen this weekend. > Time, perhaps, to open Bugzilla issues for these changes? I don't think so. It will only cause more work. Instead we should discuss here what changes we actually need. The actual implementation is the minor part. > I'm about to attach a proof-of-concept patch in Bugzilla that > expands the proof module to do regular source->monitor colour > correction, with optional soft-proofs, instead of just soft-proofs > limited to sRGB source and monitor. The proof filter should do proofs and nothing but proofs. What you are suggesting sounds more like a new filter. Sven
