GraphicsMagick provides a set of commandline tools and programming APIs (including C, C++, and Perl) for manipulating, editing, and converting raster and vector images. It is derived from ImageMagick, with the objective of providing a stable code base. Supports DPX and Kodak Cineon formats. Bob Friesenhahn, the maintainer of Graphics Magick, is available on the TIG mailinglist.

hald-clut CLUT support builtin to GraphicsMagick
