But maybe i=20 am wrong?=C2=A8 I think this is right on the money. The lprof scanner profiler would=20 likely need some modification to make it a plugin but most of the=20 functionality would be usable as is. In addition the front end(s)=20 would need to be enhanced to embed profiles and do conversions between=20 profiles. =20 I have two scanner packages that are ICC aware. On Windows I have=20 SilverFast AI. SilverFast AI will use the device profile to convert=20 the image to your selected working profile as part of the scanning=20 process. It also has an optional feature that will let you create=20 custom profiles using an IT8 target. I also have Vuescan Professional=20 on both Windows and Linux. Vuescan Pro has the ability to use ICC=20 profiles and functions like SilverFast where you specify both a device=20 and working profile and your images are output having been converted=20 to the working profile. Vuescan Pro can also create scanner profiles=20 using an IT8 target. I believe that Vuescan uses the SANE back end on=20 linux. So this functionality belongs in the front end. Also scanners and cameras are almost trivial to profile. All you need=20 is a good target, the targets data file and some software and almost=20 any user can get a good profile. With a properly designed front end=20 it should be easy for almost any user to use this functionality.
