As mitch and I discussed on irc, as the plan stands right now, the GIMP won't have any working color profile. Going forward, AFAIK, the "image->mode->assign/convert color profile" menu entries should be removed from the lcms plugin, and everything automatically converted to srgb/R'G'B' on import. I think the best design in the end would be for babl to eventually get icc profile support itself. Then different loader plugins could simply tag their data with a babl format created using the icc profile, and all the conversions would happen without a plugin stepping in. -- drawoc (Øyvind: Just to be sure - it's sane to store srgb data with the babl format R'G'B', right?)
