 Yes they are driver options, but I can use custom printer profiles with other 
applications e.g. even printing from Firefox.

Driver options are dependent upon the printer used. What are you using?

Thanks

In GIMP is see two ways: 
 
Image/Mode/Convert to Color Profile... lets you apply a color profile 
to your image (recalculates the color values of the pixels to make 
the image look the same with the new profile, considering the 
rendering intent). Note, that your image is connected to that color 
profile then - to avoid restricting your possibilities you should 
keep a device-independent color profile, like sRGB or AdobeRGB etc 
and thus not overwrite your file with the converted version. 
 
The safe way: 
On OSX you can assign a color profile to your printer with ColorSync. It's 
shipped with OS X and you find it in Applications/Utilities. 
 
After that in GIMP: 
Normally this should be enough and after printing the file from GIMP 
it should look as expected. 
 
For soft proofing: 
In the menu GIMP/Preferences/Color Management enter your profile in the 
field 'Print Simulation Profile' and choose a suitable Softproof rendering 
intent. For softproofing on the screen go to 'View/Display filters...', add 
'Color proof' to the right list. In the field 'Profile' 
in the lower part of the dialog you can choose your printer profile 
then and set a suitable Rendering intent. (Anyway I haven't seen 
the values from the Preferences dialog used as default here - I don't 
know whether this is intentional). 
 
Kind regards,

Where do you see this? I checked back with GIMP 2.8.4 and only saw the 
options 'Keep embedded profile' and 'Convert to RGB workspace'. 
Both are for the cases you open a file which already has a profile. 
 
 > Also, Image/Mode/ has two options; Assign and Convert 
The 'Assign' function is for scenarios where the file comes without 
any color profile information and you want to prepare it for a 
color management workflow. For instance if you have an image from 
the web you can often assume that it is in sRGB color space and 
thus you assign the sRGB color profile to it.

In the printer dialog in GIMP/OSX I don't see neither something related 
to color management nor the options you mention. 
Could it be they are printer driver options? In this case you would 
surely have more luck if you search the web for manufacturer manuals, 
forums or contact the manufacturer directly.

I'm sorry to say that I got error 404 ;-(

Nice that I could help you at least a bit ;-) 
 
You'll surely have more luck if you post directly to the mailing list as 
it increases the chance to find somebody who can help you with your 
issue. Also telling the manufacturer and model name of your printer 
would help. 
 
Kind regards,

I wish to find a suitable (open source if possible) application to print high 
end image files.
I have both Gimp v2.8.4 and Scribus v1.4.3 installed, but I cannot find a way 
to apply output icc profiles for either of these applications.

[Gimp-user] Captcha broken on gimpusers.com + license question on the still life painting contest

[Jehan Pagès]

Hello,

sorry to ask this on this list, but there is just no contact
information on gimpusers.com. And I am assuming that whoever is in
charge there is also reading this mailing list.

My friend has been trying to create a login since yesterday, in order
to submit a contest drawing. But she got rejected at least 10 times
for the captcha. I tried as well for her, I got rejected too for the
captcha many times. People on #gimp on IRC also got rejected. I'd say
your captcha system is completely broken. Could you please fix it?

Also why the choice of CC non-attribution? I would think that at least
a CC-attribution would be appropriate. This is certainly uncool for
authors if they are told they lose their authorship after working that
hard. Looks a little like "working for free" rather than a contest on
this particular point.
When I do Free Software for instance, I am ok to give my copyright on
Free Software projects (some ask for it), not the authorship of the
code. I don't see why it should be different for art. Actually I am
even wondering if many people did participate to the contest with this
specific rule (unless they did not read the rules).
Would it be possible to update this license to a CC by?

Thanks.

Jehan

P.S.: I also left a comment on the contest page, with basically the
same content. But I feel like I may have more chance on the list.
