Hi Andrei,

A devicelink of several profiles is just the concatenation of
the LUTs for each intent. Seems easy in theory but it has its challanges.
For example, if the intent is absolute colorimetric, some scaling should
be done from LUT to LUT. Same for black point compensation. Also, if the
involved profiles are named colors ones, the procedure is completly
different and then each spot color has to be evaluated across the
composite transform.

Finally, ICC file format does not allow an arbitrary number of stages
in the LUT, so it is up to the CMM to optimize and reduce the number
of stages keeping proper precision. This is the most difficult part.

Regards
Marti
