Hi,

I need to adapt to a different white point quite quickly for a whole array 
(image) of (floating point) Lab values. Usually that's performed by transform 
objects on that buffer. For adapting to a different illuminant however, a von 
Kries type transformation (mostly, and in lcms the Bradford transformation) is 
performed. But the implementation only works on single XYZ values (using 
cmsAdaptToIlluminant), or I can transform setting an alternative white point 
using cmsLab2XYZ and cmsXYZ2Lab. This works all very fine, it is just slow if 
it has to be applied pixel by pixel on a whole image buffer.

My (possibly naive) attempt to create a transform using the built in Lab 
profile with different white points however failed. It didn't alter the values 
at all. This is (in Pythony pseudo code) my attempt on how I did it:

standardLabProfile = cmsCreateLabProfile(NULL)
adaptedLabProfile =  cmsCreateLabProfile(newWhitePoint_xyY)
myTransform = cmsCreateTransform(standardLabProfile, TYPE_Lab_DBL,
                                 adaptedLabProfile, TYPE_Lab_DBL,
                                 INTENT_PERCEPTUAL
                                 cmsFLAGS_NOTPRECALC)

Using that myTransform didn't change anything ... :-(

So my question is now this: Can I use a transform object to perform a Bradford 
chromatic adaptation transformation, and if so, how do I do it? If not, is 
there any other more efficient way to do so?
