There is a GIMP plugin called seperate+ that uses lcms to implement softproofing. I beleive that it has paper white simulation and it is claimed that current version give results that are very much like using the same settings in photoshop. At the very least you could look at the code to see ow this is being done. > > 3) OT: The Adobe CMM is now available as a download.
