I'm sorry that I can't explain in English very well.

See the following image:

In case of using the GIMP and any other softwares, handling the image without color profile is very important.
Some software may handle it in the different workspace.

The behavior of the other software becomes unpredictable if the GIMP covers that the image doesn't have profile.
