Color Profile
The Color Profile feature provides you
with image-specific color management
options within Capture NX. Use these
options to apply a profile, or convert
the current profile to prepare the
image for your specific color managed
workflow.
Capture NX utilizes the default Color
Profile folder for your Operating
System. If you add or create additional
profiles on your system, please ensure
that the new profiles are placed in this
default location. Locations typically
used for storing color profiles in are:
Windows XP
: Windows/System32/
Spool/Drivers/Color
Windows 2000
: Windows/System32/
Color
Mac OS X
: Library/ColorSync/Profiles
The Color Profile dialog displays the
current profile embedded within the
image. Choose between the two differ-
ent methods of altering the profile to
color manage your image.
Apply Profile
Choose Apply Profile to assign a profile
to the current image. This option is
most often used when you would like to
assign an input profile, such as a profile
you created for your camera, to the
image.
Please note
: When you apply a
profile, your image may change on your
monitor, but the color values will not
change. This is because you have just
identified the meaning of the colors
throughout your image based on the
profile created for the input device.
This is an important first step in the
color management workflow, as it
makes it possible to then convert the
image to an output process. Simply
choose the input profile that you would
like to apply to the current image from
the list of profiles in the Profile
pull-down Menu.
