Short: Profess. color correction for scanners Author: wfaust@ics.coloraid.de (Wolf Faust) Uploader: wfaust ics coloraid de (Wolf Faust) Type: driver/other Version: 2.03 LE Architecture: m68k-amigaos Replace: hard/misc/ICS.lha With ICS you can make your scans look like from the professionals. By using ICS scan quality is DRAMATICLY(!) improved without requiring the user to manualy adjust scan colors while scanning. ICS can also convert gray/RGB/CMYK images between various formats (TIFF, JPEG, IFF, PNG,...) and add things like IPTC and ICC information. ICS already is directly supported by ScanQuix, ScanTrax and ImageFX and more. Other scanner drivers authors will soon add direct ICS support to their scanner drivers. But ICS can also work independent of any specific scanner software using a stand-alone image file converter. ICS does work in 3 steps: - You do scan a calibration target with your scanner software and use the incl. ScanTarget programm to create a profile for your scanner. - You do select your monitor or standard (PAL, sRGB, NTSC,...) you want to color correct the scan for. - Now all scans with your scanner software will be color corrected automaticly. It's as easy as that... Note that the LE version here on AmiNet is crippled because of license and patent issues. For the complete software and manuals check out: http://www.ics.coloraid.de Changes since V2.02: - Changed: French catalogs updated. Showmanual catalog added. Thanks goes to Frédéric Nicolas (frederic.nicoas@free.fr). - Fixed: ICSConvert errors during color conversion of a line may be prompted for each line of the image converted. The error is only prompted once now. - Changed: IRW Library Update to V1.06 (07.11.01): + Possible Enforcer hit(s) when trying to load unsupported file formats. A pointer to the filename used in the error message may be wrong. Fixed. + PNG code updated from pnglib 1.0.9rc2 to 1.2.0. + TIFF code updated based on changes made from libtiff 3.5.5 to 3.5.9beta. + Major speed improvement in TIFF handling of uncompressed images saved in a single strip. Speed is still not optimal, but many times faster now... + MacBinary files now work with TIFF, GIF and JPEG. Other formats not yet supported but format type 'MacBinary + xxxx Data' will be reported to user. In this case people can strip the first 128 bytes of the file using a MacBinary tool... - Changed: Does not expire anymore! Wolf Faust - 28.07.2002
