  • Page 71: Appendix C About Colorsync

    Appendix C About ColorSync Mac OS–based computers use ColorSync to help make sure that the colors you see on your monitor closely match the colors you get on your printers, scanners, and other devices. Because ColorSync works behind the scenes, you don’t have to know anything about it.
  • Page 72 Further compounding the problem is that no two monitors or printers produce exactly the same colors. (For example, you can see differences in color ability among monitors in the TV department of a consumer electronics store.) ColorSync is a system extension that provides color-conversion capabilities and improves color consistency.
  • Page 73 Because ColorSync information becomes part of your output files, you don’t have to worry about losing the profile or using the wrong profile with the wrong image. Additionally, ColorSync profiles are in the standard International Color Consortium (ICC) format recognized by Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and other systems.
  • Page 74 Setting up ColorSync To take advantage of ColorSync, you need to obtain profiles for each of your imaging devices, such as your monitor, scanner, and color printer. ColorSync profiles are usually automatically installed when you install the software for a ColorSync-supported device.
  • Page 75 Make sure the profile you want to use is located in the ColorSync Profiles folder. This folder is located in the Preferences folder in your System Folder. Choose Control Panels from the Apple ( ) menu and open the ColorSync System Profile control panel.
  • Page 76 Some programs and printer software might require that you do something special, such as turning on an option, in order to take advantage of ColorSync. For example, to use ColorSync with the Apple Color OneScanner, select the Use ColorSync option in the ColorSync Preferences dialog box of the OneScanner Dispatcher software.
