Using ICC/ColorSync Monitor Proles
The ICC/ColorSync monitor proles generated by MultiProler are used to inform the Color Management System of the
color characteristics of the monitor.
Color Management Systems use this information to determine how to display images on-screen. Depending on the
image editing software package being used, proles for printers and scanners can also be utilized to create accurate
image prints and scans.
The exact method of loading ICC monitor proles into the Color Management System will depend on the software
application being used. Most software applications rely on the operating system (Mac OS or Microsoft Windows) to
provide the current prole information. However, some applications may have a color management setup where the
monitor prole can be selected.
MultiProler will automatically create and associate the generated ICC/ColorSync monitor proles with the system’s
Color Management System.
Refer to the instructions for the particular software package being used to determine how to correctly load and use the
ICC/ColorSync monitor proles generated by MultiProler.
The ICC/ColorSync monitor proles generated by MultiProler are named with the monitor model name, followed by the
serial number, and “MultiProler”.
Note: MultiProler will automatically update the current ICC/ColorSync monitor prole as necessary when the picture mode
is changed in the software. Some color-managed applications may not be able to notice this change of prole while they
are running and may need to be restarted. Some applications such as Adobe Photoshop do not update the contents of
document windows to reect the new display prole until the document window is clicked.
