Color management including display callibration, soft proofing, and true CMYK editing is now working its way in.

If people are interested in this, giving things a shake down and then commenting over in the Inkscape mailing lists and chat room would help things improve more quickly.


Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

In my system (Windows XP; "AdobeRGB1998" color profile is associated with the LCD moditor, I have tried the other
screen profiles of the Adobe suite and the results are similar) with inkscape-0709220200 build, colors
of Batik icc color test (E:/DTP/SVGViewer/batik-1.7/samples/tests/spec/color/colorProfile.svg) look slightly different
in Batik and Inkscape (they are "brighter" in Batik) EXCEPT for the "auto" icc color values where a black rectangle
in the raster image, which is rendered correctly in Batik, is replaced by a red rectangle in Inkscape.

The red color may be used to show "out of gamut" colors, which cannot be represented correctly.
