Hi,

Well, if the TIFF has embedded profile (has TIFFTAG_ICCPROFILE), then this
is the
profile. If not, there is no way to know the exact profile, but then you can
limit the
valid profiles for the TIFF colorspace, RGB, CMYK, CIELab... lcms has a
function
to get colorspace of icc profile, cmsGetColorSpace(). The demo does show a
list of
valid profiles based on TIFF colorspace.

Well, this is hardly OS-dependent. Since I guess you are using Windows,
I must tell Widows is a mess when doing so. Profiles are in a directory, but
this directory does vary on depending on wich version of Windows you are
using.

Win95 & 98 -> windows\system\color
W2K -> winnt\system32\spool\drivers\color
ME ->  windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
NT 4 -> There is no color dir, since NT4 doesn't support profiles

There is a API function called "GetColorDirectory" that returns such
location,
but this function is not available on NT4 & Win95.

Of course you can ignore the whole thing and use your own directory for
storing your profiles. I am using this latter.

About how to select appropiate profiles, there is a complex example of
User Interface (the one the demo is using) in file lcmui.c, in src\ui dir
of distribution package. I didn't document this since is windows specific,
but I guess it can be handful to you.
