Setting the [Color Management] tab
Select the [Color Management] tab to make color management settings.
The colors of the same image may look different on different monitors or printers.
The system used to prevent this color inconsistency is called "color management".
The color reproduction area that can be rendered by monitors, printers, and other
input/output devices is defined using "color space". The color reproduction area
varies depending on the input/output device; therefore, "profiles" are used to
correct the differences in color. A profile is automatically embedded in an image
when an image is saved, and the profiles used for the monitor display and printing
of images are configured separately by the OS. The [Color Management] tab can
be used to cancel the embedding of a profile when an image is saved and
configured not to use the profiles set by the OS. After confirming the OS setting,
you can change the settings in the [Color Management] tab as needed.
Confirming the OS profile settings
Follow the steps below to check how the profile used when displaying images on
the monitor, and the profile used when printing images are set in the OS. Each
setting corresponds to the [Monitor Profile] and [Printer Profile] items set in the
[Color Management] tab.
