Argyll CMS

# Argyll CMS

ArgyllCMS is an ICC compatible color management system, available

as Open Source. It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners,

cameras and film recorders, and calibration and profiling of displays

and RGB, CMY & CMYK printers. Device Link can be created with a wide variety

of advanced options, including specialized Video calibration standards

and 3dLuts. Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of

illuminants observer types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive

compensation. Profiles can also incorporate source specific gamut

mappings for perceptual and saturation intents. Gamut mapping and

profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut

mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. It also

includes code for the fastest portable 8 bit raster color conversion

engine available anywhere, as well as support for fast, fully accurate

16 bit conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared

with a modern Web browser using X3DOM . Comprehensive documentation is

provided for each major tool, and a general guide to using the tools for

typical color management tasks is also available. A mailing list provides

support for more advanced usage.
