I understand, at least at a basic level, what color management is about, why we need it and so forth. My question was more about how to go about making this happen in a Linux/ufraw/GIMP environment. Do I somehow get my profile attached to my monitor under X Windows? That would presumably correct my display system and make all output of any image "correct" regardless of the tool used. But I don't know if X allows that, though I've found some stuff that hints that it might or at least folks have given it some thought. If I don't correct the entire display, then presumably I have to have the corrections applied in each individual image editing program. GIMP 2.3 seems to suggest that it has some color management beginnings, but I have so far failed to work out how I do that. (This, if it's the right way to go, is properly a question for the GIMP lists, of course). How about output? I looked at the gutenprint information, and it seems to suggest that I have to use a profile created through gutenprint, rather than a generic one (in otherwords, I don't use a normal profile for the device, I need what amounts to a composite profile for the device and gutenprint in combination). Anyway, I'm sure I need much information from other places, but this seems like a list that probably has the wisest and most broadly educated folks on it, so I was hoping to get some early pointers. What tools should I be using? What might still not be possible? Can I even use the hardware generated profile for my monitor, given that it was created under windoze (dual boot, so the same physical hardware). Does that make more sense as a question? Still rather broad based, but that's my problem, where to start! Thanks again for your help, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
