<p><i>Update, November 10, 2015:</i> Krita developer <a href="http://wolthera.info/">Wolthera van Hövell tot Westerflier</a> was checking how my ICC profiles displayed in the <a href="http://wolthera.info/?p=783#more-783">wonderful new color space picking GUI</a> that she coded for <a href="https://krita.org/">Krita</a>, when she discovered that my Rec.709 Tone Reproduction Curve looked very strange. I checked my profile-making code and found the problem &mdash; my code for the Rec.709 parametric curve was using three values that ought to have been inverted, but weren't. My apologies for this really stupid mistake! The code has been corrected and <a href="/files/compressed/elles-icc-profiles.tar.gz">new profiles and profile-making code have been uploaded</a>.</p>
<section> <a id="introduction"></a> <h2>Introduction and why I distribute ICC profiles and profile-making code</h2>
<p>My ICC profile-making code makes a variety of RGB working space profiles, plus Gray profiles, plus XYZ and LAB identity profiles. The code includes the most commonly used RGB working space profiles (including ACES, ACEScg, AdobeRGB1998, ProPhotoRGB, Rec.2020, and sRGB), plus an assortment of less commonly used profiles. </p>
<p>Each RGB working space profile "family" is provided with the profile's standard Tone Reproduction Curve ("TRC"), the linear gamma TRC, and the sRGB and LAB "L" TRCs, in both V2 and V4 versions. </p>
<p>The downloadable <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/files/compressed/elles-icc-profiles/elles-icc-profiles.tar.gz">tar.gz</a> or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/files/compressed/elles-icc-profiles/elles-icc-profiles.zip">zip</a> profile pack includes the profiles, source code, licences, README, and etc. If there is a profile you need, that isn't already included in the code or profile pack, let me know and I'll try to add the code to make the new profile.</p>

<h3>Software used to make the profiles</h3>
<p>My profile-making code uses the <a href="http://www.littlecms.com/">LittleCMS open source color management engine</a> ("LCMS"). However, by itself LCMS often can't create well-behaved profiles because unlike the <a href="http://argyllcms.com/">ArgyllCMS</a> profile-making code, the LCMS profile-making code <a title="In Quest of Well Behaved Working Spaces" href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/well-behaved-profiles-quest.html">doesn't compensate for hexadecimal quantization</a>. Unfortunately, without somehow compensating for hexadecimal quantization, using LCMS to make sRGB, AdobeRGB1998, and quite a few other color space profiles will result in profiles that aren't well behaved. The AdobeRGB1998 specifications not only give the D65 xy and XYZ values for the AdobeRGB1998 color space, but also the D50-adapted XYZ values. Because LCMS doesn't account for hexadecimal quantization, AdobeRGB1998 profiles made with LCMS don't exactly match the <a href="https://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/AdobeRGB1998.pdf">AdobeRGB1998 specifications</a>.</p>

<p><a id="prequantized-primaries"></a>As already noted, ArgyllCMS's profile-making code does compensate for hexadecimal quantization. So for profiles that are affected by hexadecimal quantization, I used the ArgyllCMS profile-making source code (located in "src/mkDispProf.c") to calculate the properly quantized D50-adapted XYZ values. Then I used a spreadsheet to "back-Bradford-adapt" from the ArgyllCMS D50-adapted XYZ values to the source color space white point to calculate "prequantized" xy values to feed to LCMS. These "prequantized" xy values allow me to use LCMS to make profiles that are well-behaved, with colorants that match the corresponding ArgyllCMS profiles (when there is one; my profile pack and code does include profiles that ArgyllCMS doesn't distribute). And I used ArgyllCMS's <a href="http://argyllcms.com/doc/xicclu.html">xicclu</a> utility to confirm that all the profiles included in my profile pack are indeed well-behaved.</p>

<p>A lot changed between V2 and V4, causing a huge uproar and a lot of disagreement and unhappiness. This disagreement and unhappiness is a major reason why some very important software (such as ArgyllCMS and other profiling software) still makes and uses V2 profiles.</p>

<p>In particular, V4 specs don't allow for absolute colorimetric conversions to many commonly used matrix profiles, including sRGB. So "V2 according to V4" profiles don't behave exactly like real V2 profiles used in a real V2 workflow. LCMS provides ICC profile color management following V4 specs, not V2 specs. So Krita, GIMP, RawTherapee, showFoto, and all other imaging software that uses LCMS can <i>read</i> real V2 profiles, but V2 profiles are treated as if they were V4 profiles.</p>

<p>The <cite>About RGB Colourspace Models Performance</cite> study can be critiqued on various grounds (I wish the study had included actual ICC profile working spaces, and I wish more operations had been checked).

Some color spaces you might not have ever used ranked near the top of the study's ranking, including Rec.2020 and the ACEScg color space (both of which are included in my profile-making code and profile pack).

<p>Kodak designed the RIMM/ROMM (ProPhotoRGB) color gamut to include all printable and most real world colors. It includes some imaginary colors and excludes some of the real world blues and violet blues that can be captured by digital cameras. It also excludes some very saturated "camera-captured" yellows as interpreted by some (and probably many) camera matrix input profiles.</p>
<p>The ProPhotoRGB primaries are hard-coded into Adobe products such as Lightroom and the Dng-DCP camera "profiles". However, other than being large enough to hold a lot of colors, ProPhotoRGB has no particular merit as an RGB working space. Personally and for most editing purposes, I recommend BetaRGB, Rec2020, or the ACEScg profiles ProPhotoRGB.</p>

<li>sRGB-elle-V2-rec709.icc and sRGB-elle-V4-rec709.icc are actually Rec.709 profiles, as the Rec.709 color space is exactly the same as the sRGB color space, except the Rec.709 colorspace uses the Rec.709 TRC. So if you need a Rec.709 ICC profile, use one of these two profiles.</li>

I supply not just well-behaved profiles, but also source code that you can modify and compile to make your own RGB working space profiles.</p>
<p>For the three video profiles (PAL, SMPTE-C, and NTSC) and the two old monitor-based working spaces (Apple and ColorMatch), I included the profile's primaries, white point, and tone response curve information but not the actual profile making code. It should be obvious how to add the appropriate code if you want to make these profiles.</p>
<h3>Pre-quantized unadapted primaries</h3>
<p>Making an RGB working space profile requires a source white point and a set of unadapted primaries. As discussed in <a href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/well-behaved-profiles-quest.html">In Quest of Well Behaved Working Spaces</a> and <a href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/linux-icc-profiles.html">Survey of Free and Open Source ICC RGB Working Space Profiles</a>, the resulting profile's illuminant, white point/chad tag, and adapted primaries are subject to hexadecimal rounding or <dfn>quantization</dfn> during the profile making process. If this quantization isn't somehow compensated for, the resulting profile's adapted primaries sometimes deviate from the theoretically correct adapted primaries. A side effect for profiles so affected is they end up being not well behaved.</p>

<p>In addition to the standard unadapted primaries, for the profiles that are affected by hexadecimal rounding, my profile-making code includes "pre-quantized" unadapted primaries that compensate for hexadecimal quantization. These pre-quantized unadapted primaries were back-calculated from profiles made using Argyllcms version 1.6.3, which does compensate for hexadecimal quantization. Profiles made using the "pre-quantized" primaries are well behaved.</p>

<p>As an aside, if you want LCMS transicc terminal readout that matches the Argyllcms xicclu readout, you'll need to download and modify the LCMS source code as explained in <a href="http://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/well-behaved-profiles-quest.html">In Quest of Well Behaved Working Spaces</a>, and compile and install the modified code. Whether or not you've modifed LCMS, the code given below will produce well behaved profiles because the primaries have been pre-quantized.</p>

<p>Compiling LCMS from source requires that you <strong>install the development versions of various LCMS dependencies</strong> (according to Gentoo Portage: jpeg, tiff, zlib, and coreutils).</p>

<p>It should be obvious from the examples provided how to code up additional ICC profiles if there's another working space that you want, that doesn't have primaries and/or white points and/or tone response curves as provided in the current code.

/* The profile header "Platform" tag:

/* About the ICC profile header "Platform" tag:

* So on my own computer, to replace 'APPL' with '*nix' in the header,
* I modified the LCMS source file 'cmsio0.c' and recompiled LCMS:

Header.platform= (cmsPlatformSignature) _cmsAdjustEndianess32(cmsSigMicrosoft);
#else
Header.platform= (cmsPlatformSignature) _cmsAdjustEndianess32(cmsSigUnices);
