 User Interface Functional Specification: ICC Profile Installation — Document Description

Document Description
This document describes the user interface and functional details for installing an ICC profile into the
Windows 9x(Memphis) and Windows NT 5.0 operating systems. This user interface will not be highly
trafficked. The user adding a target profile for proofing purposes with no installed driver appears to be the
likeliest user.

 User Interface Functional Specification: ICC Profile Installation — Document Description

Introduction
This document covers Installing/Uninstalling ICC Color Profiles, Associating them with devices, and the
property sheets of the profiles. In addition, this specification will cover the message boxes for error
messages and basic functionality.

Icons

Function
This section reviews the behavior of the system when an ICC profile is viewed, either on the desktop, or in
Explorer.

osoft Operating System Software: ICM: Profile Installation

ICC Profile Icon appearance:

Installed Uninstalled

Interaction
If a user drags an ICC profile onto their desktop, or views it in Explorer, there is a unique icon that
represents all ICC profiles. It is pictured above. This provides the user with a visual clue as to the type of
file that they have on their desktop.

Profile Right-Click Menu

Function
The Profile Right-Click Menu provides users with the ability install or uninstall an ICC profile depending
on its current status. Simply installing a profile, without making any associations means that the profile is
available for the user to select as a target device when they are proofing. With the exception of a color
space profile, the profile will not be available for any source or destination devices.
All profiles are installed into the “color” directory. This is not a user selectable option.

osoft Operating System Software: ICM: Profile Installation

Interaction
If a user right-clicks on an ICC profile, they will have a right click menu that appears. This is a fairly
standard menu. If the user selects multiple profiles, and right-clicks on the batch of selected profiles, this
will change some of the behavior of this menu.
The behavior of the two new menu items for a single and multiple selection is described in the table
below.

ICC Profile Properties

Associate Devices Tab

Function
The Associate Devices tab on the Profile Properties dialog box provides users with the ability to associate
an ICC profile with a device. This enables ICM to use this profile with the associated device(s). This
means the profile will be available, for the device(s) it is associated with as a source and/or destination
device profile. In addition, the profile continues to be available for the user to select as a target device
profile when they are proofing.
This tab is not available if the user has selected multiple profiles.

Add Device dialog box

Function
When a user selects the Add Device… button on the Associate Devices tab of the profile properties dialog
box, the Add Device dialog box comes up. The program reads the header file in the selected ICC profile.
Based on the type of device the profile was created for, the Add Device dialog box lists the installed
devices on this computer that match the profile header file device type. The user can select one or cancel.
When the Add Device dialog box is up, the user cannot return to the Associate Devices tab of the profile
properties dialog box without closing the Add Device dialog box.

 User Interface Functional Specification: ICC Profile Installation — Document Description

General Tab
Function
If the user selects one profile, right-clicks and selects properties, they will first see the General tab on the
ICC Profile Properties dialog box. This tab provides users with the standard file information. A user can
tell by the color of the icon whether or not the profile is installed.
If the user selects more than one ICC profile, right-clicks and selects properties, they will only see the
general tab, and its information will be the standard general tab information.

Profile Description Tab

Function
If the profile generation tool/person added the information, the Profile Description tab provides the user
with a fairly technical breakdown of the profile. Basically, the user can see the original device the profile
characterizes. In addition, the user can see what viewing conditions the profile assumes.
The information on this tab comes from the profile with the exception of the operating system default
CMM.
If the user has selected multiple profiles, this tab is not available.

This field should contain the Manufacturer and Model Number of the device the profile characterizes.

Color Profile Producer:

This is the copyright of the company that owns and/or produced the profile.

Additional Information:
This field should contain the information on the lighting conditions used in generating the profile, and
additional information on the device.

Microsoft Windows (NT) Incorporates:

This should be the default system CMM. It should be queried from the default CMM in the operating
system, not the profile.
