International Color Consortium
Last modified: Thursday, September 08, 2005
The International Color Consortium was established in 1993 by eight industry
vendors for the purpose of creating, promoting and encouraging the
standardization and evolution of an open, vendor-neutral,
cross-platform color
management system architecture and components. The intent of the International
Color Consortium profile format is to provide a cross-platform
device
profile format. Device profiles can be used to translate color data created on
one device into another device's native color space. The acceptance of this
format by operating system vendors allows end users to transparently move
profiles and images with embedded profiles between different operating systems.
