Introduction
-ArgyllCMS is an ICC compatible color management system, available as Open Source.
-It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, cameras and film
-recorders, and calibration and profiling of displays and RGB & CMYK printers.
-Device Link can be created with a wide variety of advanced options, including
-specialized Video calibration standards and 3dLuts. Spectral sample data is
-supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and paper
-fluorescent whitener additive compensation. 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. 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 1.6.3, a bug fix update to V1.6.2 released on 18th November 2013.

The first public release of icclib was in November 1998,
and of Argyll was in October 2000. Code development commenced in 1995. See
