Adobe ICC Profiles

Adobe standard ICC profile license

rustybara-icc supports embedding the 22 well-known Adobe ICC profiles at compile time via the bundled-profiles feature, and accepts any user-supplied .icc profile at runtime via IccProfile::from_user_bytes(). The .icc files are not distributed in the repository or in release binaries — they must be downloaded separately from Adobe's website. Once placed in rustybara-icc/src/profiles/data/, they are compiled directly into the binary with include_bytes!.

When embedded this way, the profiles are subject to Adobe's standard ICC profile license, which permits redistribution as part of a compiled application provided that:

  • The profiles are not modified other than as permitted by the ICC profile specification.
  • The profiles are bundled as part of an application and are not redistributed as a standalone profile package.
  • Adobe's copyright notice and attribution are preserved.
