Hello.
After asking my question, I found the following procedures;
plug-in-icc-profile-info
and
plug-in-icc-profile-set
While searching through GIMPs Procedure Browser earlier, I didn't see these
two procedures because I was searching for the keyword "space", i.e. Colour
Space, instead of "profile", i.e. Colour Profile. I blame this on my
playing around with ImageMagick too much before posting my question. The
ImageMagick convert utility uses the command line argument;
-colorspace
and I think this term was just stuck in my head!
Sorry about that :(
