  <title>Argyll Overview</title>

<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.
