Little cms intends to be a small-footprint, speed optimized color management engine in open source form.
Since the initial release, back in 1998, lcms has been continuously evolving, mostly thanks to contributions done by skilled programmers, who generously donated their valuable time to review the engine and the documentation.
For now, little cms has been ported to a big number of platforms and is currently used in many open source and commercial products, as well as being distributed in major linux environments. Thanks to all for this great support!
