See This article on Pixel I Studio

At $38 bucks it must be significant competition for PS......

I found a plugin for GIMP that purports to provide support for ICC profiles.

See http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=5146

Is this kind of support native, or do we need to get a plugin ?

The ONLY reason I still suffer along with Windo$e is for PS. I'm not a Mac guy and probably never will be, but I love Linux. Some day I will have to spend the time and really figure out The Gimp. The little I have used it though showed promise.

I believe color management will be in version 2.4. There is supposedly some color management in 2.3, but it is not stable yet. I haven't tried it, but I will in time.
