The Cineon image file format is commonly used for scanned motion picture film. Cineon is a trade mark of Kodak, and is the name of a very fine system for doing motion picture special effects, so whenever you read it think of them, OK? You're not going to stumble across one of these files unless you already know what it is, so I'm not going to explain why it's a useful format.
Just say make, then copy the cineon executable
to wherever your plugins go. The rest of this doc is probably of no interest
except to coders.
cineonlib is the Cineon image file read / write library. It allows you
to create a (pointer to a) CineonFile struct to either read
(cineonOpen()) or write (cineonCreate()) a
Cineon format image file.
The library takes care of the conversion between ten and eight bits, using the
blackPoint / whitePoint / gamma conversion described in assorted documentation.
cineonTest tries to read a Cineon image file and dump information from its header. If something goes wrong, it should complain. Mostly it's for diagnosing image format variants I haven't covered yet, without having to go through the Gimp.
