Great idea. It works as advertised. I compiles cleanly. I just tested it with the littlecms beta 1.11 and it is very cool to be able to work with the GIMP and then have a usable CMYK file. I'll note, you can then use the littlecms utility tifficc to embed the icc profile in the TIFF. This is one area I will be adding to the docs in the future. Cheers, Peter
