Hi Pippin,

Thanks! -what you describe is what I assumed was happening :) . But I 
was puzzled about these error/warning messages also being printed when 
adding a layer mask to an RGB image.

Are the babl ICC code and/or LCMS used to make layer masks in GIMP? 
Whether or no, the masks are made without any problems.

Best,
Elle
