10 Kodak Imaging for Windows

Imaging for Windows, which comes with the Windows operating system, is also

capable of using color management features provided by the operating system.

Color management is implemented by Microsoft Image Color Matching (ICM), and

assures consistent display and printing of color image documents, regardless of the

output device you use. However, for color management to function, the input device,

the image Þ le, and the output device must support it. The image document Þ le types

that support ICM are BMP, versions 4 and 5, and TIFF, version 7.

Options for controlling color matching on your computer include: ProÞ les for the active

monitor and printer, different rendering intents and prooÞ ng.

Color matching options apply to the current image document only.

box is apparently without function (on Windows ME).
