Colord

Homepage SBo

Provides colormgr console utility for color management.

xiccd

Desktop color management daemon. It needed to import profiles into colord and apply them to monitor. If you use KDE or Gnome, you do not need xiccd. Gnome uses gnome-settings-daemon instead.

Depends on: colord

Guide for FreeBSD

gnome-color-manager

Requires colord-gtk - gtk library for colord

Useful GUI for colormgr utility.

Iccprofiles

Package with common icc profiles collection from Adobe and ECI.

Xcalib

xcalib is a tool for direct loading icc profile for monitor.

lprof

Homepage

Lprof does not included in slackbuilds repository.

Requires: qt3, Vigra

Installation

Create directory for installation. In my case:

mkdir ~/software/lprof

In order to compile we need some tricks on source tree directory:

find . -iname "*.c" -o -iname "*.cpp" -o -iname "*.h" | xargs sed -i 's/BOOL/bool/g'
find . -iname "*.c" | xargs sed -i '/typedef long int bool/d'
find . -iname "*.c" | xargs sed -i '1i typedef enum { FALSE, TRUE } bool;'

Then

scons PREFIX=~/software/lprof/ qt_directory=/opt/kde3/lib/qt3-3.3.8b/ install

Usage

We can use lprof to create icc profile for monitor or camera/scanner.
