Here are some key features of "GNOME Color Manager":

· Setting output gamma tables (with local brightness and adjustments) to any Xrandr output (falling back to the per-screen methods for drivers that do not yet support Xrandr 1.3).
· Setting of settings at session start, and when monitors are hotplugged.
· Easy install of vendor supplied ICC or ICM files, just by double clicking on the file.
· Easy display calibration using an external calibration device, and scanner calibration using a inexpensive IT 8.7 target. For calibration, the ArgyllCMS package is required.
· Integration X11 by setting the per-screen and per-output _ICC_PROFILE atom, which makes applications such as the GIMP use a color managed output.
· Easy to use DBus interface for applications to query what ICC profiles should be used for a specific device. This is session activated and is only started when it is needed, and quits after a small period of idleness.

Requirements:

· GNOME
