Short: V1.10 ICS - professional color correction for scanners
Author: wfaust@ics.coloraid.de (Wolf Faust)
Uploader: wfaust@ics.coloraid.de (Wolf Faust)
Type: hard/misc
Replace: hard/misc/ICS.lha
With ICS you can make your scans look like from the professionals.
By using ICS scan quality is DRAMATICLY(!) improved without
requiring the user to manualy adjust scan colors while scanning.
This is the first release of ICS after nearly two years development.
Support for ICC Profiles and more type of devices (printers,...)
is planned for the next major release.
ICS already is directly supported by ScanQuix, ScanTrax and
ImageFX. Other scanner drivers authors will soon add direct ICS
support to their scanner drivers. But ICS can also work
independent of any specific scanner software using a stand-alone
image file converter.
ICS does work in 3 steps:
- You do scan a calibration target with your scanner software
and use the incl. ScanTarget programm to create a profile
for your scanner.
- You do select your monitor or standard (PAL, sRGB, NTSC,...)
you want to color correct the scan for.
- Now all scans with your scanner software will be color corrected
automaticly.
It's as easy as that...
ICS supports standard IT 8.7 (ISO 12641) from Kodak, Agfa, Fuji,
CorelDraw/PhotoPaint and "Epson Color Reference Chart" calibration
targets.

Changes since V1.09:
- Minor bug: An error requester was missing in ScanTarget in
case memory allocation failed to target color array.
The program simply failed without an error prompt.
- Changed: Developers: "extern struct Library *ICSBase;" added to
proto/irw.h include file.
- Minor bug: Fixed reading PCX files with 8 Bits per pixel with
more than 1 plane.
- Minor bug: Reading of DCX files did not work. Fixed.
- Minor bug: BMP 4 Bit RLE compression did not work correctly
and caused error requester. Fixed.
- Minor bug: Reading of PNG grayscale with alpha channel files
did not work. Fixed.
- Added: BMP 32 Bit support added.
- Added: PPM/PGM P5/P6 comments and white space values
are skipped while reading header.
(PS: Full support will be added with the upcoming
IRW library support shortly - IRW is in beta test)
- Minor bug: assert() debug calls disabled in TIFF source.
- Minor bug: Unknown TIFF compression schemes may be prompted
to the user. The TIFF routines may continue
loading faulty data despite the error message
(bug in libtiff). Fixed.
- Minor bug: TIFF 16 Bit continious plane images may not load correctly
under low memory conditions.
(PS: Improved TIFF support will be added with the upcoming
IRW library support shortly - IRW is in beta test)
- Changed: removed SAS/C __chkabort() function
from ICS library in order to make sure
that really no CTRL-C handling is done
by the library itself.
- Added: Iiyama Monitor Profiles added.
Thanks goes to Lamee Wouter for emailing the values.
- Minor bug: Error requester format gadget was not localized.
- Changed: Now expires on 01-Jan-2001
