Next, ColorSync converts device-specific colors into standard colors. The CIE color standard describes colors in terms of how they are perceived by the human eye under standardized lighting conditions. (CIE stands for the Commission International de l'Eclairage, the International Commission on Illumination, which founded the standard.) To maintain consistency, ColorSync previews a device's color capabilities (in the ColorSync profile) and-where necessary-converts standard colors to closely matching colors that the device can reproduce. For example, your display may be able to display a vivid red, but your printer inks may not be able to produce that color. ColorSync determines the "next best" color for your printer to use. Using ColorSync The default ColorSync profile for the AppleVision 1710AV Display is automatically installed as part of the AppleVision software. This profile is named AppleVision 1710-9300 and is located in the ColorSync Profiles folder. To meet your specific project requirements, you can use the AppleVision Setup control panel to create a custom ColorSync Profile for your display. For more information, see Chapter 4. To use a new ColorSync profile: 1 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. When you export a ColorSync profile from the AppleVision Setup control panel, this folder is selected automatically. 2 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu and open the ColorSync System Profile control panel. The ColorSync System Profile control panel appears. Working With ColorSync 143
