Windows XP Professional and Windows Vista

Microsoft is challenging Apple's dominance of the professional digital image processing market by introducing operating system level color management similar to that in Apple MacOSX. Now is the time to get up to speed with color management under Windows XP Professional and get ready for the significant new features soon to ship with Windows Vista.

Imaging Associates now run operating-system-specific sessions of our Introduction to Digital Color Management Course with in-depth coverage of either the Mac or Windows - as you require! When attending a Windows focused session, in addition to gaining a sound grasp of color management theory, you will learn:

• The features of "Image Color Management" (ICM) 2.0 built into Windows XP Professional.
• How Microsoft has recently exposed the power of ICM to the user via the new "Color Management Module"
• How to use Microsoft's "Color Control Panel Applet" under Windows XP Professional:
• To install, uninstall and rename ICC color profiles.
• To inspect ICC profiles and view 3D plots of their color gamuts.
• To compare two ICC profiles.
• To associate specific profiles with your printer, monitor or scanner.
• To syncronize color between differing devices.
• To proof color reproduction between differing devices.
• How to work with devices that do not require an ICC Profile under Windows.
• How to distinguish when an application running on Windows XP Professional is using the operating system level ICM or performing its own color management.

We will also prepare you for the new color management system built into Windows Vista - the "Windows Color System" (WCS).
