Hello, Apparently I was supposed to discuss any potential new features with the developer mailing list prior to filing a bug. Sven Neumann pointed this out to me. Thanks Sven. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610944 For web designers it is essential to have the option to either include or exclude color profiles on images that are created with Gimp. It would be great to have a checkbox on the save/export dialog or the Save for Web plugin dialog that would allow you to exclude the color profile. Sven suggested I just 'unset the color profile' on the image, but the option doesn't seem to exist. I'm running Gimp 2.6.7 on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. Under File > Image > Mode > I have the options 'Assign Color Profile' and 'Convert Color Profile'. Neither of these gives me the option to 'unset the color profile'. If the option isn't available next to these color profile options, what is the next logical place for that option to be located? Adding it to the Save for Web plugin (why else would you NOT want a color profile included?) makes sense to me because that is the least destructive way to do such a thing. This is in line with your recent changes to 'Save' being non-destructive and 'Export' representing the act of saving images to 'destructive' formats/settings. I think this is similar to the act of switching from RGB colorspace to indexed colors. Sure, you can do it on the document itself, but suggesting that that is the best approach is disregarding the real world workflow of producing images for the web. On the other hand, is it possible that Ubuntu has mucked up something here? Scribus likes to point the finger at Ubuntu a lot. This option to 'unset the color profile' might exist, but doesn't on Ubuntu for some reason? I apologize if I'm missing something obvious, but I've looked all over and the online manual doesn't mention this and I can't even find a blogger talking about the subject. All of the literature just assumes that color management and including color profiles in images is always the desired route. It SHOULD be, but this isn't a perfect world and the web certainly has a long way to go before all browsers support color profiles consistently. Your patience and guidance is much appreciated.
