How CMS Translates between Devices

When you scan an image, a CMS uses the information about the scanner—

stored in the Scanner Color Profile—to translate the RGB image from the

scanner to the Profile Connection Space. The CMS then uses the information

about your monitor—stored in the Monitor Color Profile—to translate the

image from the Profile Connection Space to your monitor color space, where

you see it displayed.

In this example, the scanner is the “source” device, and the monitor is the

“destination” device.

When you print the image, the CMS again translates the image data from the

monitor’s RGB color space to the printer’s RGB color space—using the

information about both devices as stored in their Color Profiles.

So, although all of the devices in this example use different device dependent

color spaces, the CMS is able to translate between them and produce accurate,

predictable color.
