Thanks Robert and Neil
If i try to resume
Since there is no color management in Gimp-print, i guess it consideres
that the files are good on screen and try to reproduce that while
sending the datas to the printer.
So if i want to print safely like that, in Photoshop, i should convert
my AdobeRGB file to my monitor colorspace and use "same as source" .
From that i can make an adjustment curve for media/paper choice, and
the choosen resolution.
Or better i can make a profile from a not corrected print and then use
Photoshop or Colorsync to convert my AdobeRGB files to the destination
space i will have calculated.
Is that correct ?
Thanks a lot
Denis
