Importing and exporting ColorSync profiles
When you create custom color settings for your monitor, you can share those
settings with others you’re working with to ensure consistent color results. See
Appendix A, “Using ColorSync,” in the AppleVision User’s Manual for
information about setting up ColorSync on your computer.
Use the Monitors & Sound control panel to create a ColorSync profile that
describes the white point and gamma value of your AppleVision monitor. You
can use this profile with any monitor that supports the ColorSync color-
matching system. In addition, you can import a ColorSync profile for a
different monitor and use it with your AppleVision monitor.

3Select the profile you want to import, then click Open.
