- This is the ICS V1.06
-
- 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 V4 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.
