TypeMaker — What Profile?

Colour image files, such as digital photos, include a colour profile which describes how the colour values in the file should be interpreted, ensuring that the digital image is displayed correctly on a monitor or printed correctly on a colour printer.

However, designers often have to deal with colour images with an inappropriate profile, or no profile at all. Previously the only solution was to try applying a series of different profiles to the image, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

To address this problem TypeMaker developed Colour Confidence What Profile?, an application for the Macintosh that can be run stand-alone or accessed through a Photoshop plug-in. It allows you to view an image with its original profile, and compare up to four source or destination profiles in a single window.
