This is the ICS V1.10
http://www.ics.coloraid.de
INTRODUCTION
------------
With ICS you can make your scans look like from the professionals
;-)
So far there hasn't been any real color correction for scanners on
the Amiga nor are their good scanners supported allowing you to
scan without requiring major color correction after the scan.
ICS is an easy to setup and extremly powerfull scanner color
correction. The first version of ICS allows you to calibrate any
color scanner (incl. slide scanners) for a wanted monitor/display
standard (PAL, sRGB, NTSC...). All you need to do is scan a
calibration target, generate a profile for your scanner with the
included software and select your monitor. Next time you scan
with ICS enabled, colors from your scanner will be corrected for
your monitor. Usualy the quality improvements are major and no
further user interaction/editing is required to your scans.
ICS can work independent of any kind of scanner software. So your
scanner software must not support ICS in order to make use of
ICS!!! However, it is more comfortable if your scanner software
automaticly calls ICS for color correction during scanning of the
image. ScanQuix and ScanTrax V2.2 already support ICS. An ICS
ImageFX hook is available from the ImageFX manufacturer's ftp
site.
ICS uses rather complex methods to color correct scanners. ICS
makes use of complex color appearance models and gamut mapping
procedures for a wanted monitor/standard (sRGB, PAL, NTSC...).
Scanner driver programmers find all required info included with
the achive in order to add ICS support to their software within a
couple of hours.
Development time of this software so far: nearly 2 years.
