How ICC Profiles Work

How to Achieve Greatness When Using ICC Profiles

To achieve the optimal set-up for using epson icc profiles, canon icc profiles, or icc profiles for other printers, the first step is to calibrate your monitor. Many image manipulation programs will allow you to check the monitor's set-up, or alternatively, a quick search on the web will take you to a choice of set-up pages. But once you have done it, be careful. If you adjust the controls, or the lighting around the monitor, or even after a period of time, you will have to go back and set it up again - fortunately it is a quick and painless process. The scanner profile should be loaded with the scanner software, but will only be fully active if the Adobe RGB (1998) option is chosen in the TWAIN interface. Printers will normally come with a default profile that is activated on loading the driver. But check that the profiles are activated, by looking in the printer and scanner properties from the Start menu. The printed image should now be reasonably close to what you see on the screen, so you can edit your images and be confident about the results that you will get. Of course, not all the images will start life in your scanner, but a well-produced image from a web page or CD should conform to the same standards and give good results. If there are any problems, you can see them on the screen and correct them. Digital cameras are, of course, one of the most important sources of images, and are particularly difficult because no profile can take account of the illumination at the time of exposure. However, with confidence that what you see on the screen is what you will get in the print, then the final adjustment of the image is in your hands.
