That is why at the suggestion of several developers we formed an openicc list on freedesktop.org. Mostly it is a talk shop now on how to make a common framework for color management. This discussion spilled from that list. It is still early days, but I *am* encouraged we will see some common specs and ease of use by end users. > I like them all, I use them all.

That said, I think it is important to understand we on the Scribus team do NOT want to take sides discussing GIMP and Cinepaint, nor should it be a topic here... It should be crystal clear to all.. Our wish is to deepen our working relationship with all the F/OSS graphics applications to the exclusion of none. I think one of the really great things which adds to Scribus is the open, friendly and respectful tone on this list, IRC or wherever we might visible.
