                       INTRODUCTION
                       ------------

With ICS you can make your scans look like from the professionals
;-)

So far there hasn't been any real color correction for scanners on
the  Amiga  nor  are their good scanners supported allowing you to
scan without requiring major color correction after the scan.

ICS  is  an  easy  to  setup  and extremly powerfull scanner color
correction.   The first version of ICS allows you to calibrate any
color scanner (incl.  slide scanners) for a wanted monitor/display
standard  (PAL,  sRGB,  NTSC...).   All  you  need to do is scan a
calibration  target,  generate a profile for your scanner with the
included  software  and  select  your monitor.  Next time you scan
with  ICS  enabled, colors from your scanner will be corrected for
your  monitor.   Usualy  the quality improvements are major and no
further user interaction/editing is required to your scans.


ICS can work independent of any kind of scanner software.  So your
scanner  software  must  not  support  ICS in order to make use of
ICS!!!   However,  it is more comfortable if your scanner software
automaticly  calls ICS for color correction during scanning of the
image.   ScanQuix  and  ScanTrax V2.2 already support ICS.  An ICS
ImageFX  hook  is  available  from  the ImageFX manufacturer's ftp
site.

ICS  uses  rather  complex methods to color correct scanners.  ICS
makes  use  of  complex  color appearance models and gamut mapping
procedures for a wanted monitor/standard (sRGB, PAL, NTSC...).

Scanner  driver  programmers  find all required info included with
the  achive in order to add ICS support to their software within a
couple of hours.

Development time of this software so far: nearly 2 years.
