(Rendering Intent
in the above listing)
libvips does not support this in an easy way at the moment. The LCMS API is:
cmsUInt32Number intent = cmsGetHeaderRenderingIntent( profile );
We could add a new VipsIntent
, perhaps VIPS_INTENT_DEFAULT
, meaning "use the intent recommended by the profile, if any, otherwise use relative".
