ColorSync Manager Functions Not Supported for ColorSync 1.0 Profiles

You cannot use the ColorSync Manager's CMUpdateProfile function to update a ColorSync 1.0 profile. The ColorSync Manager does not provide functions for profile version conversions. This is the domain of profile-building tools and calibration applications.

The ColorSync Manager provides a set of functions used to search the ColorSync\x89 Profiles folder for specific profiles that meet search criteria. These functions act on version 2.x profiles only. If the ColorSync\x89 Profiles folder contains ColorSync 1.0 profiles, these functions do not acknowledge them or return results that include them. The ColorSync Manager search functions, which are not supported for ColorSync 1.0 functions, are the CMNewProfileSearch, CMUpdateProfileSearch, CMDisposeProfileSearch, CMSearchGetIndProfile, and CMSearchGetIndProfileFileSpec functions.

You cannot use the ColorSync Manager's NCMUseProfileComment function to generate automatically the picture comments required to embed a ColorSync 1.0 profile. This function is designed to work with version 2.x profiles only.
