True, true... So, I used tiffgam on the whole image.

1. tiffgamut -pj -cmt ProPhoto.icm rgbinfile.tif
2. collink -Grgbinfile.gam -ip -cmt -dpp ProPhoto.icm
ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc devlink.icc
3. cctiff devlink.icc rgbinfile.tif cmykoutfile.tif

Now, the image is much better, but I still lack red/orange.
