Re: [Gimp-developer] Soft proofing and the GIMP Display Filters and Color Management settings

[Omari Stephens <xsdg xsdg org>]

First and foremost, it's nice to see someone working on GIMP color 
management again, so yay :o)

All of the suggestions seem reasonable for me.  That said, additionally, 
I think it'd be really useful to be able to enable or disable 
soft-proofing quickly.  It would be independently useful to be able to 
enable or disable out-of-gamut color marking quickly.

The usecase here is that, suppose I'm working up an image for print. 
Let's say I want to adjust the curves of the image so that I get a 
reasonable amount of shadow detail, but not so much that I get shadow 
banding (as from running out of dynamic range in the shadows).  I'll 
want out-of-gamut colors enabled in order to judge how much shadow 
detail will actually show up in print.  But I'll want it _disabled_ to 
judge banding, since the contrasting "out-of-gamut" color tends to make 
gradients really difficult to evaluate.
