Managing Color With ColorSync


About ColorSync Application Development

ColorSync provides your application with color-matching capabilities that users can employ without the need for a proprietary environment. ColorSync provides the first system-level implementation of an industry-standard color-matching system. Because ColorSync supports the profile format defined by the International Color Consortium (ICC), a color image a user creates can be color matched, rendered, and modified by another user running another application on another platform that supports the format. Conversely, your application can modify and color match images created by other applications that support ColorSync or a CMS that includes support for the ICC profile format. For information on profile format version numbers, see ColorSync and ICC Profile Format Version Numbers .

ColorSync Version Information describes the Gestalt information, shared library version numbers, CMM version numbers, and ColorSync header files you use with different versions of the ColorSync Manager. It also describes CPU and Mac OS system requirements.
