ctl 1.5.2 Color Transformation Language

The Color Transformation Language, or CTL, is a small programming language that was designed to serve as a building block for digital color management systems. CTL allows users to describe color transforms in a concise and unambiguous way by expressing them as programs. In order to apply a given transform to an image, the color management system instructs a CTL interpreter to load and run the CTL program that describes the transform. The original and the transformed image constitute the CTL program's input and output.
