Profiles can also +incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation intents. +Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique +gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. Device Link +can be created with a wide variety of advanced options. It also includes code for +the fastest portable 8 bit raster color conversion engine available anywhere, as +well as support for fast, fully accurate 16 bit conversion. Device color gamuts +can also be viewed and compared using a VRML viewer. Comprehensive documentation +is provided for each major tool, and a general guide to using the tools for typical +color management tasks is also available. A mailing list provides support for +more advanced usage. + +This is Version 1.5.1, a bug fix update to V1.5.0 released on 1st March 2013. +The first public release of icclib was in November 1998, +and of Argyll was in October 2000. Code development commenced in 1995. See +Changes Summary for an overview of changes since the last release.
