Soft proofing in 2.6.5

I copied the standard Gimp color wheel into a png image. I loaded the image into Gimp 2.65. I tried to soft proof it using view>display and then selecting color management and color proof. There was no change in the image. In theory there should be gray bars in the image where the CMYK gamut did not cover some shades.

What more do I need to do to use soft proofing? If icc color profiles are needed how do I make them available to Gimp 2.6.5? I have various icc profiles in ~/colors for use by Scribus.

You can either configure GIMP for Soft Proofing in the Color Management section in the Preferences dialog, or, if you insist on doing it the hard way, use View->Display Filters and set up the display filter manually. Of course you will need color profiles. But it should be obvious where to set them, no?

Huh? The Preferences dialog is located in the Edit menu (as suggested by the GNOME HIG).

PS: Next time please reply to the list. I am not going to answer mails sent only to me.

Just checked my copy of 2.6.5 and there are preferences entries on both menus. Perhaps one could be renamed. Tomorrow I will check out the correct one.

Thanks,

Something is very broken about your copy of 2.6.5 then. Perhaps you managed to mix up the menu XML files of GIMP 2.4 and GIMP 2.6 ?
