Likewise, when you open a Photo CD image, the source is the Photo CD,
plus the Color Profile that relates the color data to the PCS, and the
destination is the monitor, plus the Color Profile that relates the PCS to the
monitor's color space.
Here's another example: Let's say you manipulate the image on your
monitor screen, and print it.
The source this time is the monitor (plus the Color Profile that relates it to
the PCS), and the destination is a printer (plus the Color Profile that
relates the PCS to the printer's color space).
So, Source and Destination mirror a logical two-step process most Color
Management Systems use to translate images between device color
spaces;
The Source Profile brings the image into the PCS
The Destination Profile connects the image from the PCS to the
output device, such as a Monitor, Printer, or Proofer.
However, this is not the case with a Kodak CMS.
Kodak has patented its composition technology. This technology takes the
Source and Destination Profiles and composes them into a single color
transforming profile.
This technology adds significant improvement in the quality and
performance of the Color Management System.
Note: You use the Source/Destination information when you setup or use
your CMS-based application, such as PageMaker 6.5.
