QubyxViewer Open Source Release Brings Professional Color Management to Everyone

 

Introducing QubyxViewer: Open Source Meets Professional Color Science

Wilmington, DE — QUBYX has officially announced the launch of QubyxViewer, a Qt-based open-source color management viewer crafted for professionals in color science, display calibration, and post-production.

The software empowers users to inspect, validate, and preview ICC profiles and 3D LUTs across both single and multi-display setups. With real-time LUT preview, profile diagnostics, and cross-platform support, QubyxViewer offers the same level of precision typically reserved for high-end proprietary solutions — now available to everyone.

Why QubyxViewer Matters for Color Professionals

In industries where color accuracy defines quality — from medical imaging and automotive displays to film grading and prepress — reproducible results depend on strong calibration and consistent workflows.

QubyxViewer bridges this need by providing a transparent, community-driven platform that integrates professional-grade capabilities like:

• ICC/ICM Profile Inspection and Application
  View and analyze color profiles with embedded metadata and gamut visualization tools.

• 3D LUT Generation and Export
  Create or modify LUTs for calibration pipelines, enabling seamless integration with grading or QA workflows.

• Multi-Display Testing
  Enumerate connected displays, inspect their metadata, and perform consistency checks.

• Image and Test Pattern Previews
  Simulate how color transforms apply to real media in real time, aiding calibration validation.

Open Source Flexibility, Professional Precision

QubyxViewer is developed using Qt 5.15 and Qt 6 frameworks, ensuring full cross-platform compatibility for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Its modular design allows developers to embed QubyxViewer within larger imaging or display quality control pipelines. For researchers and integrators, this means:

• Easy API-level integration into custom QA or rendering systems

• Fast experimentation for new color transforms or algorithms

• Expandability through community contributions and open standards

The project’s source code is released under the GNU GPL v3 license, freely available on GitHub, inviting collaboration from the global color science and open-source community.

Part of QUBYX’s Vision for Open and Reliable Color Workflows

QubyxViewer is not an isolated release — it is part of QUBYX’s larger initiative to democratize color accuracy, calibration, and diagnostic software.

From the renowned PerfectLum DICOM calibration suite to new open frameworks like QUBYX OS Tools, the company continues to drive innovation that bridges professional standards with open accessibility.

As Dr. Marc Leppla, Founder of QUBYX, stated:

“With QubyxViewer, we’re bringing professional color validation tools into the open-source world — empowering engineers, scientists, and creators to build better, more reproducible visual experiences.”

Who Benefits from QubyxViewer

• Color Scientists & Researchers: For testing new colorimetric models and ICC transforms.

• Display Engineers: For LUT verification, calibration analysis, and uniformity testing.

• Post-Production Artists: For LUT preview and pipeline accuracy.

• Developers: For embedding professional color control into larger imaging frameworks.

Availability and Community Contribution

QubyxViewer is available now on GitHub, complete with example ICC profiles, test LUTs, and media samples to facilitate validation.
