Color Matching Setup
Color Matching is an important feature of ScanWizard Pro that ensures
consistent color — from the initial input stage when an image is captured by
the scanner, to the final output stage when the image is output to your monitor
or printer (through either the Kodak CMS or Apple ColorSync™ technology).
Color matching is a critical component in the imaging process, because the
color space of your monitor is different from that of your printer (in terms of
output devices), just as the color space for RGB mode is different from the
color space for CMYK mode (in terms of image types). For this reason, color
matching was developed to allow an equivalent "mapping" of colors from one
device or from one color space to another, ensuring that no major color shifts
occur in the transferrence process.
To use the ScanWizard Pro color matching function:
1. Set up the Kodak CMS and Apple ColorSync features correctly at the time
that ScanWizard Pro is installed. For more information on this procedure,
refer to your Kodak or Apple system documentation.
2. The first time you launch
ScanWizard Pro, you will be
prompted to set up color
matching for your scanner.
You may also access the
color matching parameters
for ScanWizard Pro at any
time in the future by
choosing the Color
Matching Setup command
in the Preferences menu.
Before you proceed with specifying
your Color Matching Setup
options, you should know if the
image-editing or page-layout
application you use to edit or
process scanned images is
ColorSync-savvy or not (e.g.,
Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is
ColorSync-savvy; Adobe
Photoshop 4.0 is not).
This is because the settings in the
Color Matching Setup dialog box
will vary, depending on the
image-editing application you are
using. A non-ColorSync-savvy
application is a program that
does not know how to read or
handle embedded ICC profile
information. In this case, the ICC
profile data is ignored.

section titled Using images in
third-party applications in the
Appendix.
