[Ubuntu-be] IRC meeting 21/04/2011 – Report

[Jurgen Gaeremyn]

I'll try looking into ImageMagick (not that big of a wiz on the
commandline - don't have the original image of the SVG either) but I
don't have time today (family).

ICC and ICM assume calibration of the monitor (and/or printer and/or
scanner/camera) - I've been looking into it yesterday night, but not
very sure how to do this... I'm just wondering: if I calibrate my
monitor incorrectly (just on "sight"), won't this result in a crippled PDF?

Grtz,
Jurgen.
