Availability and complexity of iccMAX

[dimula73]

In his talk Max Derhak mentioned that iccMAX is ready to support HDR color management through profiles. I would like to ask if there are any known implementations of iccMAX or libraries that provide support for it? Do the browsers support that?

Here in Krita we use LittleCMS library for color management and its site has quite a weird note about iccMAX:

iccMAX is complex. I mean, really complex. Such complex it is not in the LittleCMS radar, not sure if MS, Apple and Adobe have implemented it and not sure if it will ever be.

So I'm not sure how we can get support for that.

An open source library with a non-viral OSI-approved license (as in, LGPL is ok, GPL is not) would be quite useful for Wayland compositors indeed. I don't know of any such library or otherwise.

https://www.color.org/groups/hdr/index.xalter is suggesting that for ICC 4, a little bit of metadata that encodes the CICP values as seen in H.273 should be added, so that support for REC 2100 is possible at the very least. I have no idea how the LCMS maintainer feels about this proposal, but it seems it is unfinished as of yet to begin with.
