<EM>&gt; Are you familiar with this stuff? If so, would you be willing to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; write a proposal on how to add the required support? I think that
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; would help a lot of folks on this list better understand what it takes
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; to make this happen. I know TWAIN is working on this too, and I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; wouldn't have a problem following the TWAIN approach for color spaces
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; where it makes sense (no point in reinventing the wheel).
</EM><BR>
<P>I am doing some work with ICC profiles. I've implemented a very crude
<BR>
prototype of a profile2profile plugin for the GIMP.
<BR>
<P>We have access to a free color management library that I helped to port
<BR>
from Windows. All we really need is
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;- a good profiler that makes it easy to create ICC profiles. With
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SCARSE at <A HREF="http://www.scarse.coloraid.de">http://www.scarse.coloraid.de</A>) the engine is at least
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;implemented, but it's missing a GUI.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The author of the iPhoto profiler (<A HREF="http://www.iphoto.coloraid.de">http://www.iphoto.coloraid.de</A>) is
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;considering porting his application to Linux.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- a mechanism in SANE to select the target color space and to apply
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the ICC profiles. This should be handled by a service library that
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;can be used by all backends, so that the backend authors don't have
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to deal with the finer points of CM stuff. I alwas wanted to implement
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a prototype for the EPSON backend, but never had the time to actually
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;do it.
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;- and most important for the long run: A color management system for Linux
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so that the management of profiles and the CM engine is no longer the
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;responsibility of applications like SANE or GIMP, but is handled by a
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;service module provided by the operating system.
<BR>
<P>How does this sound?
