4GNOME Color Manager is a session framework that makes it easy to manage, install
5and generate color profiles in the GNOME desktop.

7This project has the following features:
8
9* Setting output gamma tables (with local brightness and adjustments) to any
10 Xrandr output (falling back to the per-screen methods for drivers that do not
11 yet support Xrandr 1.3).
12
13* Setting of settings at session start, and when monitors are hotplugged.
14
15* Easy install of vendor supplied ICC or ICM files, just by double clicking
16 on the file.
17
18* Easy display calibration using an external calibration device, and scanner
19 calibration using a inexpensive IT 8.7 target. For calibration, the ArgyllCMS
20 package is required.
21
22* Integration X11 by setting the per-screen and per-output _ICC_PROFILE atom,
23 which makes applications such as the GIMP use a color managed output.
24
25* Easy to use DBus interface for applications to query what ICC profiles should
26 be used for a specific device or device type. This is session activated and
27 is only started when it is needed, and quits after a small period of idleness.
