ICC profile conversion backport to v2.1.x

[BobLd]

Hi all,

I am not extremely familiar with the ImageSharp library, so my apologies if I'm mistaken.

I understand that ImageSharp now fully supports ICC profile conversion. Is there a plan to backport these improvements to ImageSharp v2.1.x?

The reason why I am asking for this is to get these changes under Apache 2 license. I'm looking for an ICC profile handling library in order to add ICC profiles support to https://github.com/UglyToad/PdfPig, which is a Pdf parsing library.

I've myself tried implementing my own, but the big pain point is LUT interpolation...

The dual license enables you to use the latest version. And I do not think that the maintainers will back port it.

@stefannikolei thanks for your answer. I believe ImageSharp is available under Apache 2 licence under certain conditions... PdfPig is under Apache 2 (with no conditions), and hence can be used in commercial projects. This, as far as I understand, limit the use of ImageSharp under Apache 2

This section of the license is pretty clear.
