The Multitoner arrived

I'm happy to announce the inital release of the Multitoner under the terms of the GPLv3.

About

Silber & Blei needs a FLOS-Software to create multitone images. More information about this Project and its story can be found here.

Call for Help: Color Management

I'd really like to see the best possible print preview with the Multitoner. I think Ghostscript has everything we need to get there. I’d love to see some help from people with experience and/or interest in this issue. See the README.md file in the repo and the Roadmap on the right side for more info.

Roadmap

Here an updated version of the Roadmap.

  • the core functions are implemented
  • loading and saving of projects
  • creation of multitone-EPS-images from black and white images with commandline tool and GUI
  • cleanup, more code comments, licence notices, README
  • publication of the repository
  • current status: public testing and first production uses
  • Color management: (research and implementation) to obtain optimal previews ICC-profiles shall be used in future. See also the option ‑sDeviceNProfile in the Ghostscript manual and GS9_Color_Management.pdf.
  • better batch processing and handling of exceptions there: different curves for the same set of colors
