When they want to use GNU\/Linux to manage a photographic work flow, most people are afraid that they would not be able to obtain a good color calibration for their monitor. This has long been an issue, but this is no longer the case thanks to the ArgyllCMS<\/a> set of open source color calibration tools by Graeme W. Gill, for Linux \/ Windows \/ Mac OS X.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, ArgyllCMS is only a set of command line tools. So, they lack most of the pleasant interface that we photographers prefer to use.<\/p>\n

This is no longer an issue when you start using dispcalGUI<\/a>, a graphical front-end for several utilities from the open source color management system ArgyllCMS, specifically dispcal<\/code>, dispread<\/code>, colprof<\/code> and dispwin<\/code>, which when used together allow you to calibrate and profile your display using a measurement device.<\/p>\n

No need to worry about command line commands and options!<\/p>\n
