Hi,

        I want to be able to convert an XYZ value to RGB.  I took the
following steps:

- created a XYZ profile used as input.
- created a sRGB profile used as output
- intent is set to perceptual
- created a transform
- loaded the XYZ values
- did the transform

The problem is no matter what the XYZ value I always get 255 for the RGB
values.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.

void XYZtoRGB(double X, double Y, double Z, unsigned char &red, unsigned
char &green, unsigned char &blue)
        cmsCIEXYZ XYZ;
        BYTE output[3];

        XYZ.X = X;
        XYZ.Y = Y;
        XYZ.Z = Z;

        cmsHTRANSFORM hXYZtoRGBTransform;
        cmsHPROFILE hXYZProfile;
        cmsHPROFILE hsRGBProfile;
        hXYZProfile = cmsCreateXYZProfile();
        hsRGBProfile = cmsCreate_sRGBProfile();
        // Rendering intent is perceptual
        hXYZtoRGBTransform = cmsCreateTransform(hXYZProfile, TYPE_XYZ_DBL,

                                hsRGBProfile, TYPE_RGB_8,
                                0,
                                 cmsFLAGS_NOTPRECALC);

        cmsDoTransform(hXYZtoRGBTransform, &XYZ, output, 1);

        red = output[0];
        green = output[1];
        blue = output[2];
        cmsDeleteTransform(hXYZtoRGBTransform);
        cmsCloseProfile(hXYZProfile);
        cmsCloseProfile(hsRGBProfile);
}
