Color Imaging Workflow Primitives: Details and Examples

The Color-Render (CMM) Workflow Primitive
• ‘Virtual color-rendering’ can be used to assign a visualization
for later use
⇒ Producing images with an associated (but not applied) Visualization Condition
(ICC Profile), e.g., “Virtual CMYK”
Examples
Note that in a Version 4 Input profile –
• SR Data + Input Profile the media-relative ⇒ SR Data + colorimetric Input Profile rendering + Output intent Profile(s)**
• OR Data + Input Profile portrays ⇒ OR a Data capture-referred + Input Profile image + Output into the Profile(s)**
• ROR Data + Source Colorimetric Profile ⇒ ROR PCS Data – in + this Source case a Profile Color-Render + Output Profile(s)**
• AOR Data + Source transform Profile ⇒ is AOR applied Data (chromatic + Source adaptation, Profile + Output white Profile(s)**
**optional additional point mapping)- Output Profile but the to image handle does proofing, not become image setter, etc.
The 2nd or additional output "output-referred"
profile would be chained following the input
and primary …so output in this profiles case when managing the image the display data is image processed state is for the
up to the destination profile.
proofer, imagesetter, etc.
• ‘Applied color-rendering’ can be used to process image data
through a source profile and one or more destination profiles
⇒ Producing images realized in a Visualization Condition (output-referred state)
Examples
• SR Data + Input Profile ⇒ AOR or ROR Data + Source Profile
• OR Data + Input Profile ⇒ ROR or AOR Data + Source Profile
• ROR or AOR Data + Source Profile ⇒ a different ROR or AOR Data + Source Profile
