I know ... but the weather here in upstate New York is just too good. And after the long winter I just have better things to do than to polish the code. I wanted to finish the soft proofing first before I officially announce it to the Gimp community. So if anybody is interested in the code that I have so far, it's at http://home.rochester.rr.com/specht/test/color_manager-0.02.tar.gz At this time it can use input and output ICC profiles to color correct a scanned image and to prepare an image for printing. The scanner profiles can be generated with the SCARSE software at http://www.scarse.coloraid.de, for the printer profiles there is no free software availabe (at least none that I know about, so if somebody knows more than I do, please let me know). I am using software from www.wiziwyg.com to generate my printer profiles. At this time the plugin only works with RGB images. You also need the LCMS library from www.lcms.coloraid.de to compile the plugin. This current version of the LCMS library compiles only on Linux/Intel systems, the next version is however already in the making and it will have autoconf support for other architectures as well. I have also started to work on an ICC profile version of a cdisplay module. The good weather however stopped any progress there. I would like to get a group of people together who are interested in working on these CM issues. One think I would like to see in the near future is a GUI version of the SCARSE software so that it will be easier to profile a scanner, and I'm pretty sure there is enough brainpower out there to come up with a free solution of the printer profiler.
