Hi All,

I want a color managed environment on my Linux system, so I can see
what my photographs are really going to look like. Unfortunately, while
I'm tolerably competent in general Linux, I'm totally new to color
management I'm pretty sure that lcms is going to be part of what I
need, but I suspect there will be other things I need too, but I don't
really even know which man pages or whatever to start with.

Currently I have Linux, GIMP, Nikon D50 camera, ufraw, gutenprint, an
ICC profile for my monitor (generated with a hardware profiling tool
under windoze), an Epson R200 printer with a custom profile for the
ink/paper combination I'm using (generated by the ink manufacturer).

So far everything is entirely non-color managed. I just use ufraw to
read .nef files from the camera into GIMP and hope for the best. It's
not a disaster so long as I used a custom white balance and don't try
to mess with the color at all. However, I know there should be more;
how do I tie this together? Where do I start reading?

Many thanks in advance for any pointers you can offer.
