Color is an very difficult thing to understand. I am often very happy to
find so much sliders and options in gimp-print to get a bit closer to what
I need.
Every professional application needs these small and big differencing. Ok,
some going more and more into the profilers. But, we have no popular under
linux.

Confirm, it is the only way to effectively correct prints from outside the
industry ICC standard. Additionally, color measurement devices will remain
costly, even if some printer manufacturers allready build them in.
CinePaints ICC conform printouts are mostly recogniced by professionals.
But I remember my first tester beeing an amateur.

Of course splitting in simple, advanced and professional settings is an
good point for future guis.
