If you specify a profile something.icc for soft proofing then export as a tiff, there is an option to save the profile.
As far as I know, that works and is used for printing.



I can check using Imagemagick command line magick -identify verbose filename.tiff

Which might include a section like this

Code:
Profiles:
   Profile-icc: 2747952 bytes
 Properties:
   date:create: 2025-04-13T08:02:11+00:00
   date:modify: 2025-04-13T08:02:11+00:00
   date:timestamp: 2025-04-13T10:30:15+00:00
   icc:copyright: Copyright X-Rite, Inc.. This profile is made available by IDEAlliance, with permission of X-Rite, Inc., and may be used, embedded, exchanged, and shared without restriction.  It may not be altered, or sold without written permission of IDEAlliance.
   icc:description: SWOP2006_Coated3v2.icc

Thank you very much    Smile
I am trying to learn what GIMP does and what it doesn't. 
Appreciate the response.
