Actually, at one time, Sun seems to have been quite involved in ICC CMS development. That is why the key CMS header comes from Sun. Modern Sun workstations includes CMS support in the display hardware. Unless the CMS tables are supported directly by display hardware, performance is significantly reduced since the CPU must be used to transform the values. > I looked into the X11 CMS quite some time ago, and it turned out to be > not very useful for serious applications (I was toying with a CMS aware > version of the Gimp, but the X11 CMS was not promising enough, and > using LCMS in Gimp's display layer was too slow). Could an LCMS extension be used to prepare the tables that X11 CMS requires?
