But it's CMYK color channels, right?

RGB is three channels, R, G and B. Separates into three "plates" if
you were to separate it (though nobody would likely do that).

CMYK is four channels, and separates into four channels, C,M, Y and K.

And Grey is just one channel.


But I can agree that for PDF export the profiles used should be
selectable in the export dialog.

If I am creating a document for print, I want to export it tp PDF with
the profile the print company wants it in, but I want to be able to
print proofs on my local printer. So in the setup I want to be able to
state MY printers profile, and in the export dialog another printer
profile.
