IMO it is already a professional level product for web images. But it 
still lags other free products with repect to color model, color 
profiles and conformance to printing standards like X3. So it is not 
a fully satisfactory replacement to commercial products for 
publishers.  Work is proceeding in this area but the color model 
problem is a difficult nut to crack apparently.
