The Long Answer
The following items may be set in
ICC Settings
:
ICC Version
You can choose to create
ICC Profiles
that meet version
2.0
or
4.0
of the
ICC
Specification
. The default value is
2.0
.
2.0
Version 2.0 profiles are compatible with all applications and
Color Management
Modules
(CMMs). This is the appropriate choice for most users.
4.0
Version 4.0 profiles include the
Chromatic Adaptation
tag (‘chad’) and have their
Media White
Point tag (‘wtpt’) set to D50. Additionally the header contains a valid
MD5 “fingerprint” for the
Profile ID
.
Chromatic Adaptation Mode
When recording colorimetric values in a profile, XYZ values need to be Chromatically
Adapted from their measured color space to the D50 color space that is used by the
ICC profile. There are different Adaptation Algorithms that can be used to perform this
computation.
Bradford
The Bradford transformation is recommended by the ICC Specification and other
sources as being the best adaptation method to be used.
This is the default value.
