Popular color management systems

There are many color management systems for you to choose from. The type of CMS you choose 
impacts the color quality of your printed output. Choose a CMS that best meets your cost and 
performance needs. Some popular color management systems are described here.

Windows ICM

Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, and Windows NT support Image Color Management 
(ICM). ICM is an operating system-level CMS based on the CIE independent color model. It helps to 
translate color values between RGB and CMYK.

ColorSync 3

ColorSync 3 is an operating system-level CMS developed by Apple. It also uses the CIE independent 
model to translate between RGB and CMYK values.

Agfa FotoTune

Agfa FotoTune also uses the CIE independent color model to translate between RGB and CMYK 
values. It only works with certain applications, however, such as Adobe Photoshop.
