This should be a fairly trivial change once we have the infrastructure to get the current working profile and/or the image's profile into plugins in general. The print plugin would itself need to link against lcms, and it would simply fetch the current working profile (or the image's own profile if there is one), and create a transform from 8-bit data in the source profile to 16-bit data in the destination profile. The sticking point would be the destination profile - the user would need one that accurately describes gimp-print's characteristics! We could of course just use sRGB (which lcms has built-in) as a default. I'd really like to figure out the right thing for Gimp-Print to do here, and then apply the profile inside Gimp-Print. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
