Completely Painless Programmer’s Guide to XYZ, RGB, ICC, xyY, and TRCs
This tutorial was written in the hope that it might be of use to technically savvy people who know a whole lot about the code and the mathematics that goes into making an image editing program, but perhaps not so much about color spaces and ICC profiles.
Juan Cesar Jover (Apratizando) has very kindly made a Spanish translation of this Completely Painless Programmer’s Guide.
