[IPOL discuss] ICC color profiles

Thanks for the reply, Pascal.

In my opinion, what should be done is:
1) Read the image ICC.
2) Read the image pixels.
3) Process the image (C/C++ program).
4) Save the the output image pixels.
5) Embed the ICC into the input image.

The demo system can do (1) and (5) more or less automatically, since  
it doesn't need to understand the ICC contents. It just needs to read  
them and the write them into the output file, as-is.

Best,
Miguel
