Hi /Ø,

My apologies, I think I accidentally emailed you off-list.

The last bit of code that I wrote was a rewrite of the dcraw c code to
make it floating point and to incorporate some of the great
interpolation algorithms that the dcraw default c code doesn't
include.

That does't make me a "real" programmer, just a "programmer wannabe".
Nonetheless, getting color conversion right is important enough to me
that I'd like to take a look at the code and see what I can do.

However, Babl/Gegl/Gimp is a whole lot of code broken into a whole lot
of files. If someone could maybe tell me which files handle color
conversion, I would try my best to make sense of it all.

Elle
