Rename the folder ColourProfiles and copy it to C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\.
Then in each of the sub-folders, right-click the color profiles of your choice and install them.

Install the Seperate + plug-in:

Having usually succumbed to using ADOBE for this...hard times right now...gotta go with GIMP. Needing the CMYK profiles was a must for doing creations for my YT channel AVERTACTIVITY swag over at RedBubble. You just made this possible for me as I originally thought I was sunk...or in it to buy PS again. Thank you so very much for this...your effort is greatly appreciated!
