Managing Color With ColorSync


Signature of ColorSync's Default Color Management Module

A color management module (CMM) uses profiles to convert and match a color in a given color space on a given device to or from another color space or device. For more information on CMMs, including a description of the default CMM supplied with ColorSync, see Color Management Modules .

To specify the default CMM, set the CMMType field of the profile header to the default signature defined by the following enumeration. You use a structure of type CM2Header for a ColorSync 2.x profile and a structure of type CMHeader for a 1.0 profile header.

enum {
    kDefaultCMMSignature = 'appl'
};
