ICC profile construction

For most people the commercial applications available for making ICC profiles are adequate to their needs, and the use of such applications is covered in the Colour Management short course.

For those who need to know about constructing profiles for their own applications, we provide a one-day course which covers reading, editing and writing profiles in a programming language. The course focuses on the use of the Matlab programming language, as this provides a number of high-level constructs which are useful in working with ICC profiles.

The course is delivered by the ICC Technical Secretary, Dr Phil Green. It includes hands-on sessions where participants will develop code to read, apply, write and validate profiles, and sample code is provided for these sessions.

What you will learn

Topics covered include:

• Requirements for ICC V2 and V4 profiles
• Preliminaries on the use of the Matlab language
• Data types and encodings used in the profile format
• Writing profile headers for V2 and V4 profiles
• Writing matrix and TRC processing elements
• Writing look-up table processing elements
• Applying colour transforms from ICC profiles
• Testing profile conformance

Who should attend

The course is aimed at those who need to develop their own applications to generate or apply ICC profiles, or who need a more detailed knowledge of the profile format and its processing elements than are provided in the Colour Management course.
