Color management dialog box
This dialog box controls color management using ICM on
Windows and ColorSync on Mac. An understanding of digital image color
management is assumed. Instruction on color management is beyond the scope of
this User’s Guide.
This is a modal dialog box. Changes made on this dialog box are reflected instantly on The Panorama Factory’s window, but the changes are not made permanent until you click the OK button. If you select the Cancel button, the changes are abandoned.
Working
color space
Controls the working color space of the document. All image
processing operations in The Panorama Factory will be performed in this color
space. If necessary, color space conversions will be performed when images are
imported or exported. By default, exported images will receive the working
color space. However, certain output formats (e.g. BMP and QTVR) do not
support embedded color profiles. For these formats, the images are transformed
to the color space chosen on the associated settings dialog box (BMP settings dialog box, QTVR settings dialog box, etc.).
Enable color management — Enables ICM (Windows) or ColorSync (Mac) color management. If you do not select this checkbox, images written from The Panorama Factory will not contain color profiles.
Profile — Sets the working color space. You may select First imported image to use the color profile embedded in the first imported image. If the first imported image does not contain a color profile, color management will be disabled.
