"ICC color management" refers to color management based on the International Color Consortium (ICC) standard. It is a process that ensures colors are represented consistently and accurately across different devices and applications, such as monitors, printers, and cameras. ICC color management uses color profiles to standardize color representation and ensure colors remain consistent regardless of the hardware or software used.
Typical functions of software in the "ICC color management" domain are:
Creation and management of color profiles: The software allows for the creation and management of ICC color profiles for various devices and output media, including monitors, printers, and cameras.
Color calibration: It provides tools for color calibration of monitors and other output devices to ensure that displayed colors match the color profiles and are consistent.
Color conversion: The software enables the conversion of colors between different color spaces and color profiles to ensure that colors are displayed correctly and consistently, regardless of input and output devices.
Softproofing: It offers softproofing features that allow users to simulate color reproduction on a screen before printing to ensure that printed results meet expectations.
Automatic color adjustment: The software can automatically adjust colors to compensate for color deviations between different devices or media and ensure consistent color reproduction.
