In Photoshop, under your color settings dialog, under the advanced or more options window, you have the choice of the Conversion Engine. You have there Adobe ACE, or the OS conversion engine... in Apple it's Apple CMM, in Windows XP it's ICM I think. What is it in Windows Vista? Is it WCM? (Windows Color Management? Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:56:52 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/vista-photoshop-help- Ive had Windows and Mac machines and have always left it on Adobe ACE. Haven't had any problems, but am the first to admit I'm no colour space expert. Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:19:03 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/vista-photoshop-help-#105395 I agree... I'm just looking for the name of it in Vista. Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:24:42 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/vista-photoshop-help-#105397 answered my own question. see: http://www2.chromix.com/colorsmarts/smartNote.cxsa?snid=50022&-session=tx:42F946B918837176ADrsPVED1843#article Windows Vista has a new color engine, WCS (Windows Color System) which should be what shows up in the Color Settings dialog under "Color Engine", rather than the older "ICM": Image Color Management. This, from Chromix's newsletter, link is above: Recently Microsoft released their delayed and highly anticipated upgrade to Windows: Vista. There is no shortage of articles analyzing Vista, its requirements, its new features, and many of the changes that will take place for the user and software developer. What I have not seen, however, is an article addressing Vista's color management system (CMS) capabilities. So here we go. Windows Vista includes a significant upgrade to operating system-level color management. The Windows Color System (WCS) represents an departure from the ICC-based architecture that most CMSs have used for the past 10 years or so. As I often do with many of my articles, let's take a few steps back to put it all in perspective. Windows 2000 and XP include Microsoft's CMS called Image Color Management (ICM). The Color Management Module (CMM - I hope this is the last of these acronyms) was originally written by Heidelberg and has not seen much of upgrades or bug fixes over the years. As a result of this low priority on Microsoft's list, ICM has had enough bugs and short comings few people rarely use it for color conversions. Though you can select ICM for conversions in Photoshop and other applications, few users do. Many print drivers and RIPs on Windows use CMMs licensed from Kodak and other companies. It's fair to say that those of us in the professional realm had given ICM up for dead. ...yadda yadda. sorry. yes i am a geek.
