an image, you want it to appear on your monitor. So the source is your scanner,
and its related Color Profile, and the destination is your monitor, using its Color
Profile.
Likewise, when you open a Photo CD image, the source is the Photo CD, plus the
Color Profile that relates the color data to the PCS, and the destination is the
monitor, plus the Color Profile that relates the PCS to the monitor’s color space.
Here’s another example: Let’s say you manipulate the image on your monitor
screen, and print it.
The source this time is the monitor (plus the Color Profile that relates it to the
PCS), and the destination is a printer (plus the Color Profile that relates the PCS to
the printer’s color space).
So, Source and Destination mirror a logical two-step process most Color
Management Systems use to translate images between device color spaces;
• The Source Profile brings the image into the PCS
• The Destination Profile connects the image from the PCS to the output device,
such as a Monitor, Printer, or Proofer.
However, this is not the case with a Kodak CMS.
Kodak has patented its composition technology. This technology takes the Source
and Destination Profiles and composes them into a single color transforming
profile.
This technology adds significant improvement in the quality and performance of
the Color Management System.
Note: You use the Source/Destination information when you setup or use your
CMS-based application, such as PageMaker 6.5.
