RGB Source Profile
The RGB Source Profile setting allows you to define the characteristics of the RGB
data in your document so that the appropriate color conversion can occur on the
ColorPASS. Commonly used monitor color spaces are available from the driver and
from the ColorWise Pro Tools Profile Manager. In addition, for special needs you can
use ColorWise Pro Tools to download custom monitor or scanner profiles.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile, the
ColorPASS overrides source color space definitions or profiles that other color
management systems may have specified. For example, if you specified a ColorSync
System Profile on your Mac OS computer, the RGB Source Profile setting overrides it.
In cases where you do not want this setting to override another specified source color
space, choose the None setting.
When you specify a setting other than None for the RGB Source Profile—since the
color space definitions are overridden—the prints from the ColorPASS will be
consistent across platforms. Below are the ColorPASS's RGB Source Profile options.
