OK. Thanks for the url.

Important question : what the way to make a free download area of ICC profiles
for digital still cameras, screens, printers, etc ? I think that it's really
complicated to find an ICC profile to download on the web. digikam users need
to have this files easily....

Sure there are certainly any copyright problems... What do you think ?

Certainly, it's difficult to find icc files through the web. I have a lot of them that I've obtained from Window$ and MaCOS drivers and apps for devices like printers, scanners and cameras. Almost every icc profile has a copyright and I don't know how restrictive it is (for free download/distribution).

There are some "generic" profiles, like sRGB ones, that are for free downloads through the Internet (e.g. from the Internet Color Consortium www.color.org), but this is unusual.

So, I recommend this: if you want to get icc profiles for your devices (printer, scanner, camera, monitor, ...) get them from their own Win/Mac drivers or apps cd's or download them from their respectives webs. Then you can do this:

1. Install this apps with wine, it's not required that this apps work ok, you only need the installed files to look for the icc files.
2. Use cabextract (for Win$) or unstuff (MaC) for decompress/extract profiles from files like *.cabs, *.sit and *.hqx.

One more option is to look for icc files in p2p, but we must to remember that this can be ilegal in some countries.

This is want mean that we need to explain in details how to get digital still
camera icc profiles on digiKam handbook in the future... to prevent any
redondant questions on users ML...

We can put it on our site, people look there more
often then in the handbook for these type of
questions I think.

Additionally we should add it to our FAQ at digikam.org. There are several
questions asked again and again. That's why I've added the FAQ section to
digikam.org. Add a FAQ entry, point the people to the appropriate page and
good.
