Cause CMS is new to digiKam maybe it is interesing to point to the website of 
one of cinepaints cms gurus:

Here you see a complete 16Bit color proof workflow from the photo image to 
print-out. This site is currently state of the art and the reference.

An example of a raw-file IT-8 target is my

Having 16Bit _AND_ CMS is a _DREAM_. If digiKam get these feature some day 
then it is more than a killer application :o)

Bye and a big THANK YOU to all of you :-)
