Introduction
PowerColor is a powerful scanning software package for the UMAX Technologies,
Inc. scanner. With its many flexible features, PowerColor enables you to perform
complex color corrections and to make professional RGB or CMYK color separa-
tions from your scanned images quickly and easily.
Because it manipulates 16-bits per channel color data directly on the host com-
puter, PowerColor gives you the opportunity to preview changes during the initial
scanning process without additional prescanning. PowerColor also provides
instant CMYK feedback on your image transformations, so you can see the results
of your changes immediately.
For performing CMYK separations, PowerColor offers the ease and automation of
ICC profiles with our ColorSync Separator, as well as high level control with the
PowerColor Conventional Separator.
PowerColor and ColorSync (Macintosh)
The Macintosh version of PowerColor is fully ICC compatible with the use of 16-
bits per channel input, output, and display profiles. Output profiles can be either
RGB or CMYK, allowing for flexible color matching for a wide variety of output
devices.
