SYNOPSIS

profile_demo

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

profile_demo Profile_demo program allows you to display tiff images before and after being corrected through the KCS color correction library code.  To run, type  %profile_demo  .  A window will come up with <Select and image file> selected.  Click in the "Filter" box and adjust the path name to be the location of your TIFF image files.  Click to select the image file to display and then click on <Load>, or double-click on the image file name. 

Upon displaying the tiff file, two other buttons are available for clicking.  The message asks that you "Select a scanner profile", while a list of generic scanner profiles is presented in the "Scanners".  Choose the name of the scanner which digitized the file you displayed and either double-click on the file name or click on <Load> after your scanner profile has been highlighted.  The profile for a scanner always ends in .inp.  The images delivered with Solaris 2.5 were all scanned with the kcmsEKhpsjtw scanner (HP ScanJet).  Another message will be displayed asking you to "Select a monitor profile or DEFAULT." and all the generic monitor profiles will be listed as well as a button saying <Default Monitor>.  If your monitor has been calibrated, choose <Default Monitor>, otherwise choose the profile name representing your monitor.  For example, many Sparc users may have Sony 16" or 19" monitors.  The generic profile for both of these is kcmsEKsony16.mon.  By clicking on <Default_Monitor>, the program will choose the proper visual profile which you have presumably calibrated for your monitor. 

After both profiles have been chosen, the program will connect the profiles, run the image data through the color correction tables, and display the color corrected image.  The two profile buttons are replaced by the <Select an image file> selection and the list of images again appears. 

The original image files are not changed.  If you want to see the same image through multiple correction scenarios, you will have to first re-chose the original image, then each profile again.  Up the eight images may be currently displayed during one run of this program.  That is 4 sets of before and after images.  When you quit the profile_demo program, the images will disappear.
