2 Tutorial outline About the ICC ICC color management concepts Creating ICC profiles Using ICC profiles Defining an ICC-based workflow
3 About the ICC ICC History ICC Objectives ICC Membership Working groups Details from
4 ICC History - some milestones 1990 PostScript Level 2 released by Adobe 1993 FOGRA conference - Intercolor consortium formed 1994 Apple s ColorSync format adopted 1994 Version 2 ICC profile format defined 1995 Windows 95 with ICM 1999 PDF 1.3 has support for ICCBased colorspaces 2000 Photoshop 6 released 2001 Version 4 ICC profile format defined 2002 PDF/X-1a (and possibly PDF/X-3) standardized
5 ICC Objectives Open systems color management Portable, standard color profile format Framework independent of device capabilities Technical basis and broad membership Develop a common understanding of color Not limited to print production Basis of profile connection space is a reflection print which may limit areas of application
6 ICC Membership and Organization Founding members Regular members Honorary members Observers Steering committee Founding members + elected members Chair, vice chair, secretary and technical secretary Lars Borg [Adobe], Uwe-Jens Krabbenhoeft [Heidelberg], Kip Smythe [NPES], Tony Johnson [London College of Printing]
7 Working groups Focus on specific areas Examples: Architecture Working Group Workflow Working Group Graphic Arts Special Interest Group discussion groups + 4 meetings per year
8 Tutorial outline About the ICC ICC color management concepts Creating ICC profiles Using ICC profiles Defining an ICC-based workflow
9 ICC color management concepts Basic colorimetry, CIE standard observer RGB additive and CMY(K) subtractive color models Device independent color Color transforms
10 How we see color Rod cells Cone cells Response of cone cells to different frequencies of light The CIE standard observer CIELab and CIEXYZ standards based on CIE standard observer describe colors as we see them used in both PostScript and PDF
11 Color illusions Additive color Subtractive color Start with black and add red, green and blue Start with white and subtract red, green and blue Many (but not all) colors can be simulated in this way
12 Each device sees color differently Image display Photographic printer How can we convert colors from one device to another? Ink jet printer Digital camera Scanner Printing press
13 Device dependent solution Image display Photographic printer Colour transform jungle Ink jet printer Digital camera Scanner Printing press M x N transforms required
14 Device-independent solution Image display Photographic printer TAG Color transform for device to standard color space and from standard color space to device Ink jet printer TAG TAG Standard colour space TAG TAG TAG Digital camera Scanner Printing press M + N transforms required
15 How ICC profiles work Given a colour calculate ink percentage required to reproduce that colour ICC Profile BtoA tables AtoB tables Standard color space [CIEXYZ or CIELab] Calculate colour produced by given ink percentages Ink percentage [CMYK]
16 Basic color transform elements 1-D LUT curve values count samples stored in profile parametric curve parameters defining one of a standard set of functions in profile matrix e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 matrix coefficients stored in profile matrix with offset e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 e10 e11 e12 matrix coefficients stored in profile multi-dimensional LUT values at each node of the 3- or 4-D table stored in profile
17 Putting the elements together C M Y K CMYK 1-D tables 4-D LUT Lab 1-D tables AToB tag from printer profile L a b e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 matrix parametric curves R G B tags from monitor profile L a b Lab 1-D tables e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 e10 e11 e12 Matrix with offset 'M' 1-D tables 3-D LUT CMYK 1-D tables BToA tag from version 4 printer profile C M Y K

19 ICC color management concepts (2) Rendering Intent Profile connection space (PCS) Color Management Module (CMM)
20 Color gamut comparison Solid shape indicates gamut of print process Wire frame indicates gamut of monitor When printing colors viewed on screen some kind of trade-off must be made to determine how we should map one color gamut to the other
21 Gamut mapping depends on page element Company logo Tinted Areas Illustrations Photographs Text
22 ICC Rendering Intents Four ICC Rendering Intents define gamut mapping Absolute Colorimetric: measurement (relative to illuminant) of output color should match that of input color if possible Relative Colorimetric: measurement (relative to paper) of output color should match that of input Perceptual: color images should be transformed to produce desired appearance on the output Saturation: color transforms should maintain saturation in colors where possible
23 Perceptual Intent Color images should be transformed to produce desired appearance on the output - but how? Input profile 1 Input profile 1 Images and input profiles are created independently of the output profile? PCS Output profile We need to agree a means to determine 'desired appearance' with respect to the PCS
24 Profile connection space definition (Perceptual Intent) D50, 500 lux light source Ah yes, not a bad looking virtual print Media White Point has neutral reflectance of 89% (Dmin ) Media Black point has neutral reflectance of 0,30911% (Dmax 2.51) 20% surround CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer adapted to viewing environment
25 Now we can use Perceptual Intent Color images should be transformed to produce desired appearance on the output Input profile 1 Input profile 1 On input images and/or profiles can be adjusted to achieve desired result on (virtual) reference medium PCS Output profile Output profile creators can assume that images have been adjusted to achieve desired appearance and can perform necessary gamut mapping for printer
26 Open question: How big / what shape is the PCS gamut? This is at present undefined Given the density range that has been defined gives us an idea of size ICC is studying the advantages and disadvantages of defining the PCS gamut more precisely Perceptual gamut mapping is vendor specific - "beauty is in the eye of the profile creator"
27 Color Management Module (CMM) Rendering Intent Profile from document Header Private Public A2B0 B2A0 A2B1 B2a1 Header Private Public A2B0 B2A0 A2B1 B2a1 Profile from printer A2B2 B2A2 A2B2 B2A2 A2B3 B2A3 A2B3 B2A3 Input transform Output transform Combined transform CMM - often part of OS usually more than one option
28 Color Management Module (CMM) Applies transforms implied by profile data No formal ICC definition Why multiple CMMs? Handling TRC profiles Chromatic adaptation Interpolation algorithms Private tags Some minor differences of interpretation
29 Tutorial outline About the ICC ICC color management concepts Creating ICC profiles Using ICC profiles Defining an ICC-based workflow
30 Creating ICC profiles Creating a scanner profile Creating a monitor profile Creating a printer or proofer profile Creating a profile for a printing press Profile testing
31 Classes of profile (1) Input Display Output May be Matrix+TRC type but is more usually LUT-based Must contain at least Device-PCS table for Perceptual Intent Usually Matrix+TRC type but may be LUT-based Must contain both Device- PCS and PCS-Device tables for Perceptual Intent Must be LUT- based Must contain PCS- Device and Device- PCS intents for all Rendering Intents
32 Scanner profile creation Color target for media to be profiled Color target patch colors measured L*a*b* ICC Profile valid for selected media when scanned using reference scanner settings Header Private Public RGB Profiling package constructs profile A2B0 A2B1 A2B2 A2B3 B2A0 B2a1 B2A2 B2A3 Reference scanner settings selected Note the media, scanner model and scanner settings - the profile isn't worth as much without them
33 Digital camera profile creation Obtain standard digital camera color target Measure target patch colors L*a*b* ICC Profile valid for profiled viewing environment Header RGB Private A2B0 A2B1 A2B2 A2B3 Public B2A0 B2a1 B2A2 B2A3 Photograph target in intended viewing environment Select reference camera settings Warning: for a digital camera the viewing environment may be significantly different from that profiled In many cases the use of a standard colorspace may be a better option
34 Creating a monitor profile Measurement of each patch made and passed to profiling package L*a*b* ICC Profile valid for profiled monitor settings Header Private Public e1 e2 e3 e4 e5 e6 e7 e8 e9 RGB Profiling package images colored patches from target in sequence on monitor Note the monitor model, settings (WhitePoint, gamma, brightness, contrast...) and viewing environment - the profile isn't worth as much without them
35 Printer profile creation Establish printer 'reference printing state' and print characterization target Measurement of each patch made and passed to profiling package L*a*b* ICC Profile valid for printer when printing in 'reference state' on profiled media Private A2B0 A2B1 A2B2 A2B3 Header Public B2A0 B2a1 B2A2 B2A3 CMYK patch description CMYK UCR, TAC, Black Printer control etc defined Note the printer reference printing state, media and profile creation parameters (in particular how the black printer was controlled) - the profile isn't worth as much without them
36 Classes of profile (2) DeviceLink Abstract Named color ColorSpace conversion Constructed from a number of device profiles Used by CMMs to cache color transforms Limited applications support Perform PCS-PCS transforms - eg removing color cast Can be used to communicate named color palettes between applications Used to describe colorspaces (srgb->pcs)
37 Component vs Device Link Profiles CMYK Input (A) Input Profile PCS Lab or XYZ Output Profile CMYK Output (B) + New devices require a single profile - Black text mapped to 4-color - 'Dirty yellows' can be a problem - Some profile interoperability problems CMYK Input (A) Device Link Profile CMYK Output (C) + Individual colors can be mapped when the profile is created - New profile required for each input/output combination - Can not be used for Device Independent Color - Limited applications support
38 Creating a profile for a printing press Three options: Profile Individual press the only way if no similar standard printing condition exists Print to standard printing condition relatively small effort to create a profile Use profile for standard printing condition and adjust output to suit individual press a useful route when it isn't possible to print to a standard
39 Profile testing Accuracy measure a profile's accuracy using a reference set of color patches example IT8.7/3 basic set for a printer profile Average and Maximum de can highlight profiles with problems Quality use the profile to process a number of standard test images and view the result example SCID images Color accuracy vs color quality just because a profile produces accurate color does not mean that the result looks good Fitness for purpose make sure that the profile contains all of the information that will be needed by those wishing to use it
