+ <title>Argyll Overview</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+<h2>
+<u>Overview</u></h2>
+Many commercial and research electronic color correction systems have
+been
+developed over the years, but all state-of-the-art systems are
+proprietary,
+and their technology is jealously guarded. This makes this interesting
+subject area a difficult one to both explore, and to bridge the gap
+between
+theory and practice.
+<p>Argyll was written to allow me to improve my understanding and
+expertise
+in the color area, and as a platform to try out ideas for alternate
+approaches
+to electronic color correction, as well as developing new advanced
+features.
+</p>
+<p>I hope that by making the source code available under "Free" and
+"Open
+Source" licenses, that other researchers and experimenters will also
+find
+it of interest and value. I also hope that it may be attractive as a
+software platform on which future research and advances in electronic
+color correction
+systems can be based.
+</p>
+<p>To complement this aim, I hope at some stage to turn my notes made
+in
+the creation of this software into a more readable
+explanation of how Argyll works, and the principles on which it is
+based.
