+Xcalib is a simple application to set ICC color profiles.
+This is frequently required in professional graphic and VFX
+environments to maintain consistent color throughout the production pipeline.
+
+
+BUILDING
+========
+By deault, this SlackBuild script builds the 'xcalib' target,
+suitable for Intel and Nvidia graphic processors.
+
+If you want to build xcalib for use with AMD proprietary
+FGLRX drivers, start the build script with a leading variable:
+
+GPU=fglrx ./xcalib.SlackBuild
+
+** Not having access to an AMD GPU, this is UNTESTED.
+
+
+ICC PROFILES
+============
+Sample ICC profiles are included with this build, but you should use an
+ICC profile for your monitor created by a spectrometer.
+An open source spectrometer is available from http://www.hughski.com/
+
+Common industry ICC profiles from Adobe and the ECC are available
+in the iccprofiles package here on SlackBuilds.org
+
+
+USAGE
+=======
+Using xcalib is as simple as:
+xcalib display :0 /usr/share/color/icc/foo.icc
+
+To make that automatic, add that line to your .xinitrc file.
