I have buying a Dynax 5D camera. It's excelent.

I know that MK is out of photography world. It's suck royally. I hope than

Yes, Paco and me will finalize the ICC profiles support for 0.9.0. The code is 
ready to test in svn at 'trunk' branch.

There is a main icc setup page :

An image embedded ICC profile checker to sidebar with a classic EIC tonge 
graph :

A full support in image editor with RAW file in 16 bits :

And a new plugin to check ICC profiles corrections and others stuff :

These screenshots are a little bit old and the GUI have been really improved 
recently, especially for all colors correction plugins in IE :
