Hope my message didn't add too much of a stir. yahvuu's proposal does indeed encompass the small feature that I was requesting as well as other features that sound excellent.

For the issues that I'm concerned with (I'm a professional web designer/developer) skip to the part titled "ANOTHER PROBLEM with Embedding ICC Profiles:" on the gballard.net page linked to by Jay Smith. That's problem I'm dealing with that forces me to open certain Gimp-created images in Photoshop in order to strip out the color profile. Gballard doesn't mention that Firefox, when its color management is enabled, actually does website color management correctly, since it applies color profiles to both images and HMTL/CSS-defined colors. But that really doesn't affect the discussion as it pertains to Gimp. And besides, Firefox's color management is not enabled by default. Sven says: > You assign the sRGB profile. > That is equivalent to un-setting the color profile. That's not true in my experience. Yes, sRGB should be as good as NOT having a profile since sRGB is the ASSUMED color space on most computersy. But Gimp still adds a color profile to the image: an sRGB color profile. This still causes all of the color mismatch problems on websites thoroughly described on the gballard.net site mentioned above. -Jason Simanek _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
