Enhanced Cmyk Simulation Function - Canon EOS 5D Service Manual

●Enhanced CMYK simulation function
・ The color matching method up to version 1.6 was fixed at "Perceptual", but the
"Colorimetric" option has been added to cater to a wider range of users. The range
of supported color spaces has also been expanded from Adobe RGB only in version
1.6 and earlier to 5 color spaces in version 2.0 (sRGB, Adobe RGB, Wide Gamut RGB,
Apple RGB and ColorMatch RGB) (Fig. 022).
＊ Perceptual: A matching method that converts to other colors based on the way the eye saw the original
image, so that the viewer experiences no perceptual change. However, because colors are converted to
other colors, colors in some images differ between the original image and the converted image.
＊ Colorimetric: A matching method that compares the white points in the converted image with the white
points in the original image and then uses that difference as a reference for converting all the colors. This
method allows more precise color conversion than perceptual color matching.

・ In version 1.6, using the CMYK Simulation function required the user to specify
the setting in the Preferences window. A shortcut key has now been added to make
selecting this function quicker and easier.
Except for these enhancements, the main functions are unchanged from version 1.6.
