Profi les
Lists the default color-space profi les for monitors and printers.
Change Display Profi le…: If this button is displayed, you can click it to open the Displays
section of the System Pref er enc es dialog. Open the Color panel (Mac OS X) to choose
a display profi le.
Use profi le for printing: If this option is checked, the profi le listed in the Printer text
box will be used when print ing images. Note that CMYK profi les can not be used in
Camera Control Pro; if a CMYK profi le is se lect ed, the status of the Use profi le for
printing check-box can not be changed. If Use profi le for printing is not selected,
images will be printed using the default RGB profi le.
Intent: If you have chosen to use a printer profi le, the type of matching to be per-
formed can be selected from Rel a tive and Perceptual. (Depending on the profi le,
changing the match ing method may produce no change in output. This option is not
supported with some profi les; consult the manufacturer for details.)
• Relative: Colors not in the gamut of the selected printer profi le will be printed using
the closest colors available. Other colors are not aff ected.
• Perceptual: If the image contains colors not in the gamut of the selected printer pro-
fi l e , a l l colors in the image will be compressed to fi t the gamut.
Supported Color Profi les
Camera Control Pro supports only ICC (International Color Consortium) monitor and CMYK
pro fi les. Par tic u lar care should be exercised when choosing a CMYK profi le, as the profi le
supplied by the man u fac tur er of your output device may not be an ICC profi le.
See “
RGB Color-Space Profi les
RGB Color-Space Profi les” for a list of the RGB color-space profi les supplied with
Camera Control Pro. The “Nikon CMYK 4.0.3000” CMYK profi le provided with Camera
Control Pro is a general-purpose, almost neutral profi le that is not based on a specifi c ink
set, making it suited for use where output conditions are not known.
The Color Management Tab
Changes to the display profi le apply system wide. Changes to other settings in the Color
Management tab are not refl ected in Capture NX (available separately) and PictureProject.
Multiple Displays
Camera Control Pro will identify and list the profi les for all monitors in an extended desktop
display, allowing you to choose a separate profi le for each monitor.
