Which scanning application for colour-profiled scanner?

[Tim Waugh]

Hi,

I've used gnome-color-manager to generate an ICC profile for my 
scanner using an IT8.7/2 target I ordered. The next step, obviously, 
is to scan something.

I was trying to work out how to set up xsane to use the profile I'd 
generated, but I'm having trouble working it out. I also saw a note in 
the gnome-color-manager commit log that seemed to be saying it 
wouldn't work anyway ("too broken").

Is there a scanning application that will automatically ask colord for 
the profile to use, and use it?

Alternatively, is there a recommended scanning application for 
profiled devices?

Thanks,
Tim.

GIMP has a color management module, and a scanner plugin.  I've used the
first but not the second.
