Color management
Canvas uses the Kodak Digital Science Color Management System or its own internal color
management system to achieve accurate color reproduction in printing and display. The active color
management system handles conversions from one color mode to another.
The Kodak Color Management System supports ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles. Use ICC
profiles to calibrate monitors and output devices.
File installation and placement
During installation, several files that are required to use the Kodak Color Management System are
copied to the system. After installation, do not move, rename, or delete these files; otherwise, the
Kodak external tool won’t load.
Installation places various.DLL files throughout the system. It also creates a KPCMS folder at the root
level of the hard disk if one doesn’t exist already.
To install additional ICC profiles, refer to your system documentation.
On Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, Kodak ICC profiles are stored in the Color Profiles folder in the
Canvas folder. By default, Canvas installs Kodak’s generic ICC profiles only.
Kodak ICC profiles
ICC profiles are used for color management by Canvas and other programs. Canvas installs Kodak ICC
profiles that are appropriate for most monitors and color printers.
