could you explain the purpose of your plug-in in more detail? Usually
you wouldn't want to do the color correction at the actual image data,
but at the input/output level. So I would have guessed color correction
belongs into the scanner software, the printer software and of course
gimp's display routines. Support for the latter can be plugged into
the GIMP using cdisplay modules. I'm wondering what purpose a plug-in 
would have for serious work. But then having some working code is 
definitely a good thing! 


Salut, Sven
