By Marti Maria on February 6, 2021
Little CMS 2.12 released I am glad to the announce the release 2.12 of the LittleCMS open source color engine.lcms2-2.12 will add stability. Most of the new development has been done in fast float plug-in, now we have a integrated build system (a command line option in configure script) and more kernels, RGB to anything, and Lab to anything. The path “Lab to RGB” in float is specially useful. This release also recovers PDF for documentation, but at a reduced size.

Babl throughput comparative
By Marti Maria on October 2, 2019
From time to time, I discover wonderful things like this: GIMP 2.10 release notes GIMP now uses LittleCMS v2, which allows it to use ICC v4 color profiles. It also partially relies on the babl library for handling color transforms, since babl is simply up to 10 times faster than LCMS2 for the cases we tested both of them on. Eventually babl could replace LittleCMS in GIMP. OMG! something seems very wrong with the Little CMS engine!
