There was some discussion on this list about color management, e.g.: http://www.mostang.com/pipermail/sane-devel/2002-August/015083.html > An aquire module for these .icm files using a reference target (Kodak > Q-60E3 or IT8.7) would be nice so that you can calibrate yout scanner > > Maybe together with monitor profile you can aquire an image from the > scanner and directly get the proper result for your scanner/monitor > combintion. > > Since I have no clue about programming and CVS I have to go through > email Well, it looks like it's not important enough for the developers as nothing has been implemented yet :-) I personally don't know much about color management and this kind of calibration. Do we need support for that in the backends and or the API at all? I thought it's necessary to create the .icm files with each individual scanner. So e.g. if you have two scanners (exactly same model) they may vary, because e.g. gain/offset is different because of slightly different sensitivity of the CCD/CIS. I'll add an entry in the TODO list but more input would be appreciated. Bye, Henning
