Printing is left to plug-ins, so we don't need to deal with it except for providing ways for the plug-in to access the color management settings and the color profile that is attached to the image. Both is implemented already. What's left for implementation is color managed display, but there's just a small step missing there. We should perhaps also try to add the separate plug-in to the GIMP tree or provide similar functionality. If we can get this implemented correctly and make sure that the defaults are well chosen and that basic color managed workflows are supported, we can IMO release 2.4 with this. After the release we will have time to improve things further. > One area were many on the OpenICC list agree is that the photoshop/proprietary > OS approach to CM could be substantially improved in the area of printing. > My GIMP proposal did not deal with color managed printing since my vision for > how this should be handled would require significant changes to the > gimp-print/guten-print plugin that I think are beyond the scope of 2.3/2.4 > and are in fact significantly different from how this is handled in > photoshop. The gimp-print/guten-print plug-in is developed by different people and is not at all coupled to the GIMP release cycles. We should however consider to make the print plug-in that's being shipped with GIMP aware of the image's color profile. That brings up another showstopper for 2.4 that is missing from the list I posted earlier. We need to check if the new print plug-in is ready for release. Since I don't use GTK+ 2.10 yet, I didn't get a chance to have a look at it yet.
