I pulled the following from one of the newsgroups on the web. Recalling
the discussion about color and digital image processing the list has had in
the past I thought that some of you might be interested in it.

>I'm glad to announce the first public release of my little cms package.
>
>"little cms", "lcms" as short, is a free, open source, CMM engine. It
>provides fast transforms between ICC profiles.
>
>For example, You can use lcms to prepare a bitmap to display keeping the
>original colors. Or for convert in a fast way from a CIELab TIFF to RGB.
>lcms can also generate accurate separations depending of target printer or
>the inverse process; recover RGB data from a stored separation. Also, lcms
>is capable of "Proof" an image, showing the final colors if rendered on a
>specific device.
>
>lcms can be used as a static or dynamic library. Thus, by using it,
>programmers can incorporate ICC profile support into their applications.
>Although lcms is done and only works under MS windows, it doesn't rely on
>windows ICM to work. And since I'm giving source code, it would be possible
>to port to other platforms.
>
>I will take no more of your time enumerating characteristics of this
>engine, if you are interested, please take a look into lcms home page:
