Hello Sven, like you mentioned before in other cms related threads, it is an good idea to make it possible to choose the CMM the user prefer. And also I thing it would be the best choice to use for default the OS specific build-in CMM, as you said above. > Users will be able to load color profiles from whatever location they > wish.

That's a very good point, and it comes with the behavior we should keep in touch with: A very flexible implementation of cms into the gimp.

Also it's possible to choose CMYK as colormodel. At least JPEG2000 support this, and Photoshop is able to save normal jpeg files with an icc profile and in CMYK. It support's also clipping paths.[1] > http://developer.gimp.org/standards.html has some links that > you might find useful. If you know of any URLs that should be added > there, let me know. It may would be useful to make a special section colormanagement, and point for example to color.org fogra.org eci.org http://www.swop.org/specifications.html etc. Kind regards Gerhard [1] http://www.jpeg.org/apps/prepress.html?langsel=en http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp?page=5&s=graphics http://www.boscarol.com/pages/cms_eng/065-icc.html http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=jfif+cmyk+icc+site%3Acolor.org&btnG=Suche&meta=
