Additionally, as seen on the examples posted in the previous email, the colors of imported bitmaps are quite distorted after a trip through Inkscape, and often kind of 'washed' as previous examples showed.
I do not see this. Apart from blurring, there's no color distortion. Import both bitmaps into Inkscape and use the Dropper tool to pick colors from them. There's no exact per-pixel match because there's no exact pixel-to-pixel correspondence due to the resampling, but if you average over flat-color areas by dragging you get values which are close within 1/255 of a single channel.
It must be something specific to my system but I definitely see a difference between the original image (which has a color profile embedded apparently - Calibrated RGB Colorspace) and a 1-to-1 output of Inkscape (which does not have a color profile currently). It may be a problem with "Preview", the image viewer of OS X, which is color managed but does not have much flexibility on which profile to use and such. There are discrepancies on how these images are displayed by Preview, Inkscape, Photoshop or Gimp so it seems like a mess ;) I'll try to make a test drawing with photoshop, tweaking the color management options and perform various tests in Inkscape but I am no expert with this at all. Jon could you enlighten us? Do you see a difference between those two images: http://jo.irisson.free.fr/dropbox/camonito-testColor.zip in Preview?
