[Openicc] Open Source CMS options

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello Scott,
I´m not a developer, so please excuse, if I´m not using the correct terms...

concerning rendering to the display, there are very much similarities 
between layout / graphic design applications and DAM solutions. So I 
would suggest to look at Scribus and Inkscape, if its possible to share 
libraries / modules for rendering to the monitor.

But compared to Mac OSX, such functionality should better be provided on 
a level like e.g. Gnome / KDE / GTK..

If You plan a version targeting really the high-end market with a basic 
free opensource solution and a high priced commercial version, you could 
contact http://www.colorlogic.de. They provide very sophisticated OEM 
cross platform colormanagement solutions including high-end CMM, profile 
generation, rendering of images and PDF for monitor, print and 
colorservers, devicelink-generation and support, etc.
I guess, that in the current state of your DAM solution, they are much 
too expensive. But if the project is growing, they may could be a 
commercial partner in the future.

Regards
Jan-Peter
