+The Color Transformation Language, or CTL, is a programming language
+for digital color management.
+
+Digital color management requires translating digital images between
+different representations or color spaces. The Color Transformation
+Language, or CTL, is a small programming language that was designed to
+serve as a building block for digital color management systems.
+
+CTL allows users to describe color transforms in a concise and unambiguous
+way by expressing them as programs. In order to apply a given
+transform to an image, the color management system instructs a CTL
+interpreter to load and run the CTL program that describes the
+transform. The original and the transformed image constitute the CTL
+program's input and output.
