Hi, I'm forwarding this to the mailing list. Hope it would not be a problem to you.
>what do I do, or where do I put the "precompiled binaries"? Well, these binaries are mostly examples on how to use the lcms library, however, they have its own use. Several are console based. You can place these everywere you like, since they don't depend on any DLL but the Win32 system ones. Console-based is handfull for both, cross-platform and batch mode. Batch mode is a very desirable feature for tifficc, for example, since conversion of several (or hundreds) of TIFF files can be done at time. They are also are representative of the footprint lcms has in real applications. tifficc: Maybe the most usefull one. It can apply profile pairs to TIFF files. This means this small program can color correct, make CMYK separations, read CIELab files converting to RGB... etc. icctrans: This is a sort of "colorspace calculator". While tifficc does convert between images, this one converts between numbers. Is very usefull to check values across profile transforms, i.e, give Lab to sRGB calculator, for example. These are the nutshell. There are other, more arcane utilities, like the white point inferer, matrix-shaper profiler or it8 measurement generator. They solve specific problems. The profilers are GUI based (on Trolltech's Qt) and needs to be installed on its own directory. Just unzip the distribution in any newly created folder. The profilers are programs generate specific ICC profiles for your devices. Specific profiles are most times better that any generic profiles that comes with scanner or monitor. Just because they are intended for your device instead of the manufacturer standard. Many times this is the only way to obtain relatively accurate results.
