[Digikam-users] Color management under Linux?

[Dennis Meulensteen]

It appears that there is no system wide standard CMS in Linux (and no 
need for one AFAIC), but individual apps can (and do)  support different 
CMS systems like LCMS and others which don't immediately come to mind. 
Gimp has a plug in to do profile conversion, cinepaint is also CMS 
aware, Scribus, can't forget that one.. Ehh, ImageMagick does colour 
management. The problem to a new user (and I count myself in this 
regard) is that every app does it differently, unfortunately also to 
varying degrees of complexity.

A good site to start at could be this one:
http://www.behrmann.name

(and Google, of course)

I have not found any integrated solutions that include colorimeters for 
monitor profiling, like the Colorvision Spyder on the Mac and that other 
OS which shall remain nameless...

Regards,
Dennis.

If you just want to calibrate your monitor, I suggest a search for 
'Norman Koren', uhh whoops, I just did:

An excellent and Linux friendly Coulour management guide.
