Setting up color management

About color management
Color management helps you to achieve consistent color among digital cameras, scanners, computer monitors, and
printers. Each of these devices reproduces a different range of colors, called a color gamut. As you move an image
from your scanner to your monitor, and finally to a printer, the image colors shift. This shift occurs because every
device has a different color gamut and thus reproduces the colors differently.

Color management translates the image colors so that each device can reproduce them in the same way and the
colors you see on your monitor will be close to the colors in your printed image. All colors may not match exactly
because the printer may not reproduce the same range of colors as the monitor.
