The main advantage it has over Windows ICM colormatching is that it provides a method of printing using both input andoutput profiles. Windows ICM matching only allows output profiles tobe chosen.Input Profiles (e.g., a digital camera) provide information about thecolor in the original device that was used to capture or display theimage data. For example, an input device could be a scanner, digitalcamera, or monitor.Output Profiles (e.g., the printer) provide information about thedevice to which you are printing.The Using ICC Profiles feature uses both the input and outputprofiles to generate a CRD (Color Rendering Dictionary), which isused to match the colors as closely as possible.NOTEThis feature may not work for all application programs.However, many professional graphics applications offer asimilar feature in their print settings, with the ability tochoose a source (input) color space, and a print (output)color space.
