The project was formerly known as DemoIccMAX and now packages command-line tools, libraries, build recipes, and developer documentation around ICC and iccMAX profile work. ### Project history The ICC README describes the consortium's purpose as promoting open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform color management systems and explains that iccDEV grew out of DemoIccMAX. It supports both the ICC profile specification and the iccMAX profile specification, tying the codebase directly to ICC standardization work. The broader ICC site traces the consortium to its 1993 founding by eight industry vendors and explains the ICC profile format as a cross-platform device profile format. iccDEV is therefore not just a utility bundle; it is executable reference and developer tooling around a profile format used across imaging, print, display, and color workflows. ### Adoption history The README lists installation paths through Homebrew, npm, and Docker, while the build documentation gives platform-specific CMake instructions for Ubuntu, macOS, Windows MSVC, Windows ClangCL, and MinGW. That packaging spread reflects a mixed audience of color-management developers, conformance testers, and users converting or inspecting profile data. ### How it is used The Homebrew formula exposes many specialized tools, including profile application, XML/JSON conversion, profile dumping, TIFF/PNG helpers, round-trip tests, visualization, and iccMAX/v4 compatibility helpers. Typical use is inspecting ICC profiles, converting profile representations, applying color transforms, and validating profile behavior in development pipelines. ### Why package nerds care iccDEV is package-nerdy because it turns a standards consortium's color-science artifacts into installable CLI tools. It sits far from the common web/server package mainstream, yet it is exactly the sort of domain-specific tooling that package managers preserve for reproducible technical workflows. ### Timeline - 1993: International Color Consortium established by eight industry vendors. - 2010: ICC profile specification published as ISO 15076-1:2010 according to ICC's overview. - 2010s: DemoIccMAX served as the earlier project identity for iccMAX-oriented demo and reference tooling. - 2020s: iccDEV packaging includes Homebrew, npm, and Docker installation paths, with CMake build support across major desktop/server platforms. ### Related projects - Related projects and standards include ICC profiles, iccMAX, ISO 15076-1, ICC v4 profiles, color management modules, profile XML/JSON representations, image metadata tooling, and the International Color Consortium's technical working groups. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for iccdev.
