About ColorSync Application Development
The ColorSync Manager provides your application with color-matching capabilities that your users can employ without the need for a proprietary environment. The ColorSync Manager provides the first system-level implementation of an industry-standard color-matching system. Because the ColorSync Manager supports the version 2.x profile format defined by the International Color Consortium (ICC), a color image your user creates can be color matched, rendered, and modified by another user running another application on another platform that supports the version 2.x profile format. Conversely, your application can modify and color match images created by other applications that support the ColorSync Manager or a CMS that includes support for the version 2.x profile. For more information on profiles, see "Profiles" (page 3-17).The ColorSync Manager requires Color QuickDraw and System 7.1 or later.
