I appologies for the delay. The KDE Color Management panel or kolor-manager in kde git provides a front end to the Oyranos API, including configuration of settings and devices. Peer reviewed ICC profile packages from well known sources are packaged and prepared for use with Oyranos. Honestly, the colord profiles are uncontroled altered from uncertain sources, falsely labled and unfortunately buggy. While the colord author can nothing for bad colourimetric quality, there was even after many warnings no attemt to check their quality and fix the package. So many users are now exposed to these profile sets. colord as well as Oyranos are no guarantee for a colour managed desktop. There is far more work involved, like creating cross desktop standards and in parts cross OS recommendations, which I have put much work into. And these conventions have to be transformed into code, which are target at KDE and I helped with. kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann -- developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org Am 22.02.12, 10:46 -0000 schrieb Richard Hughes: > First, I apologise about the cross posting.
