Argyll CMS

Packing a selection of source code that compiles as a series of command line tools, Aghyll CMS is a color management system compatible with ICC. Aside from that, Argyll CMS packs an ICC V2 profile format access icclib, library, and CGATS file format I/O library.

Its abilities are quite varied and span ICC profile creation for film recorders, cameras, and scanners, and aside from that, they can handle calibration and profiling for CMYK and RGB printers as well as displays.

It is also worth pointing out that advanced features are integrated in order to create Device Link, with video calibration standards as well as 3dLuts being among them.

Regarding profiles, it should be said that source-specific gamut mapping for saturation and perceptual intents can be created and incorporated. As for the gamut mapping algorithm Argyll CMS relies on, it is called CIECAM02 and works along with a wide variety of rendering intents.

Fast portable 8-bit raster color conversion is possible, as is also the case of accurate 16-bit conversion. Moreover, a handy web browser that uses X3DOM can be employed in order to view as well as compare device color gamuts.

It should be mentioned that comprehensive documentation for each feature in part is offered in the package, so you should be safe in your endeavors.
