Short: V2.03 LE ICS - professional color correction for scanners
Author: wfaust@ics.coloraid.de (Wolf Faust)
Uploader: wfaust@ics.coloraid.de (Wolf Faust)
Type: hard/misc
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

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!
