This makes this interesting subject area a difficult one to both explore, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice. <p>Argyll was written to allow me to improve my understanding and expertise in the color area, and as a platform to try out ideas for alternate approaches to electronic color correction, as well as developing new advanced features. </p> <p>I hope that by making the source code available under "Free" and "Open Source" licenses, that other researchers and experimenters will also find it of interest and value. I also hope that it may be attractive as a software platform on which future research and advances in electronic color correction systems can be based. </p> <p>To complement this aim, I hope at some stage to turn my notes made in the creation of this software into a more readable explanation of how Argyll works, and the principles on which it is based. </p> <br> <blockquote> <p><br> </p> </blockquote> <br> <br> <br> </body> </html>
