Profile Application Examples
The preceding sections of this document have presented various aspects of profile connection from an abstract point of view. This section provides more concrete examples of profile connection to better help understand the possibilities and associated issues.Example Profiles
The following table contains a brief overview of the profiles that will be used in situations described in the next section.
| ID | Description | Tag Content Overview | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | RGB profile |  | Version: 2.1 Class: ColorSpace Sub-Class: - Colour Space: RGB Colorimetric PCS: XYZ Spectral PCS: - Illuminant: D50 Observer: Std. 2 degree |
| Profile A is a version 2 Matrix/TRC profile for a standard colour space (such as sRGB or adobeRGB) used for color image exchange and doesn't necessarily represent a physical device. | |||
| B | RGB display |  | Version: Class: Sub-Class: Colour Space: Colorimetric PCS: Spectral PCS: Illuminant: Observer: | 2.1 Display - RGB XYZ - D50 Std. 2 degree |
| Profile B is a version 2 Matrix/TRC profile used for either displaying colour imagery on a color managed RGB display or determining the colorimetry of an image on a color managed RGB display. | ||||
| C | CMYK printer profile |  | Version: Class: Sub-Class: Colour Space: Colorimetric PCS: Spectral PCS: Illuminant: Observer: | 4.2 Output - CMYK Lab - D50 Std. 2 degree |
| Profile C is a LUT based version 4 profile used to print or determine the colorimetry of a print using a CMYK output device | ||||
| D | CMYK printer profile |  | Version: Class: Sub-Class: Colour Space: Colorimetric PCS: Spectral PCS: Illuminant: Observer: PCC Conversion: ICS: | 5.0 Colorspace TBD RGB &XYZ None D65 Std. 2 degree Wpt MAT TBD |
| Profile D s an MPE based iccMAX profile used to print or determine the colorimetry of a print using a CMYK output device. It differs from Profile C in that it has greater flexibility in encoding the transform in the colorimetric based tags, it utilizes Illuminant A, and it provides a spectral reflectance representation of printed colors as a transform in the absolute DToB3Tag. Profile connection conditions tags are required because it uses a non-standard illuminant and it has a transform that uses a spectral reflectance PCS. | ||||
