About:
KolorManager is a front end to the Oyranos Colour Management System (CMS).
Why:
Colour Management is a important part of modern desktops. It helps
designers to improve colour usability, artists to predict artwork
appearance on client computers and graphic professionals to work with
reliable colours. Oyranos is carefully designed to meet that demands. The
KolorManager configuration front end is a KDE systemsettings panel for
manual interaction in the otherwise automated process of configuring
devices and providing reasonable defaults. The device configuration inside
Oyranos CMS is a precondition to get DE colour management well working.
Some applications like Krita or Gimp support already common OpenICC
standards like the ICC Profile in X spec and will directly benefit from
KolorManager being inside KDE. Other need further work to integrate
Oyranos and ICC support.

Request:
After working on KolorManager and Oyranos in the past months for the last
Oyranos-0.4.0 release, we feel the stack is ready to review for inclusion
into KDE.
KolorManager resides currently in Playground/Graphics:

Someone mentioned kdegraphics would be a appropriate target place inside
the KDE hierarchy.
kind regards
