image data according to a specified
source profile
and adjusts both RGB and CMYK
data according to a specified
output profile
, also called a destination profile by some
color management systems.
The source profile defines the RGB color space of the image’s source—characteristics
such as the
such as the
white point
,
gamma
, and the type of
phosphors
used. The output profile
defines the gamut of an output device, such as a printer. The Color Server (or the
host-based CMS) uses a device-independent color space to translate between the
host-based CMS) uses a device-independent color space to translate between the
source color space
and the color space of the output device.
The Color Server allows you to specify default and override settings for the source
color space information and the output profile information (see the
color space information and the output profile information (see the
Color Guide
).
When you use these settings, you do not need to use the features of other color
management systems. Your Color Server software includes
management systems. Your Color Server software includes
ICC profiles
for use with
other color management systems, although conflicts may arise when the Color Server
CMS is used in conjunction with a host CMS.
CMS is used in conjunction with a host CMS.
You can also use color management systems to adjust color data to the gamut of an
output device other than the one to which you are printing. This process of simulating
another output device is commonly used for proofing jobs that will be printed on
an offset press. The Color Server simulation feature is described in detail in the
output device other than the one to which you are printing. This process of simulating
another output device is commonly used for proofing jobs that will be printed on
