Argyll : An ICC compatible color management system

Argyll is an ICC compatible color management system. It supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, CMYK printers, and film recorders, and calibration and profiling of displays. Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also incorporate source specific gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation intents. Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents. It also includes code for a fast 8-bit raster color conversion engine as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16-bit conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared using a VRML viewer.

Social Networks Visualizer (SocNetV) : A flexible and user-friendly tool for the analysis and visualization of Social Networks


Social Networks Visualizer (SocNetV) is a flexible and user-friendly tool for the analysis and visualization of Social Networks. It lets you construct mathematical graphs with a few clicks on a virtual canvas, load networks of various formats (GraphViz, GraphML, Adjacency, Pajek, UCINET, etc), or create a network by crawling all links in a Web page. The application can compute basic network properties, such as density, diameter, and distances (shortest path lengths), as well as more advanced structural statistics, such as node and network centralities (i.e. closeness, betweenness, graph), clustering coefficient, etc.

Fotoxx : A program for improving digital photos

Fotoxx is a program for improving digital photos. Navigate large image collections using a pageable window of thumbnails. Create HDR (high dynamic range) images by combining bright and dark images to improve detail in both bright and dark areas. Create panoramas by joining overlapped images. Adjust brightness and color intensity independently for different underlying brightness levels. Rotate an image (level a tilted image or turn 90 degrees). Remove red eyes from electronic flash photos. Sharpen, resize, crop, reduce noise, and change color depth. Warp an image by dragging the mouse. Edit tags/keywords and search images by date or tags.
