  2. Introduction

  3. WCS in Windows Vista™ is • A new color management paradigm and infrastructure • A transparent, modular, color processing pipeline that allows for easy color troubleshooting • A new development platform for advanced color devices and applications • A platform for innovation in color management • The first step in a staged implementation process that will span several Windows releases • NOT MANDATORY • If it doesn’t make business sense in your workflow, if it’s not better, don’t use it.

  4. WCS Features • Continued, improved support for ICC-based workflows • New explicitly staged color processing pipeline • New, Simple XML Profile Formats • Easy to edit, verify, understand and extend by third parties • New Visual Model • CIECAM02 instead of reflection-print-like PCS • Built-in baseline device models for common device classes • Extensible by third party plug-in device models • Selectable gamut mapping models • Support for third party plug-in gamut mapping models for proprietary algorithms or improvements on baseline gamut mapping models • Transforms can support black preservation • Support for high dynamic range, wide gamut, high precision color data (up to 32 bpc float) • scRGB with a realistically defined gamut boundary (“wscRGB”) • Enables color managed proprietary and open RAW workflows • New centralized color control panel • Per-user as well as system-wide profile/device associations, defaults, and settings • Non-Admin users can now install/uninstall profiles

  5. Linear ROI Model • Legacy compatible • WCS XML data as private tags of ICC profiles • WCS processing accessible via legacy ICM2 APIs • New functionality • WCS XML data directly associated with devices • New WCS APIs sharing legacy syntax

  6. Windows Color System and ICC workflows • WCS still supports and defaults to the same sRGB ICC profile as previous Windows versions • Seamless interoperability with ICC profile-based workflows • ICC-only transforms run through improved ICM3 CMM • Mixed ICC & WCS transforms run through WCS CITE • Any existing code that uses ICM2 APIs will continue to work without any change required • ICC Version 4 support is added to ICM • Addressing key recorded ICM bugs • Implement new functionality via current ICM2 APIs • Old applications work with new profiles • New profile format is processed by current ICM2 APIs

  7. Compatibility Demonstrations

  8. WCS Components

  9. The Parts of the Windows Color System • New WCS XML-based color profile formats • Color Infrastructure & Translation Engine (CITE) • The Color Appearance Model (CAM) • Based on CIECAM02 • Gamut Boundary and Gamut Shell Functions • The Baseline Device Model Set • Extensible via Device Model Plug-ins • The Baseline Gamut Map Model Set • Extensible via Gamut Map Model Plug-ins • And of course the improved ICM CMM, with ICC version 4 profile support added

  10. WCS Pipeline

  11. WCS Profile FormatsEach type has its own schema • Device Model Profile (DMP), file extension “.cdmp” • A DMP targets a particular device model, either one of the built-in “baseline” device models, or a plug-in device model • DMPs targeting plug-in device models must also specify a baseline device model as a fallback • Color Appearance Model Profile (CAMP), “.camp” • A CAMP provides the parameters to the CIECAM02 equations for a specific viewing condition. • Gamut Map Model Profile (GMMP), “.gmmp” • A GMMP targets a particular gamut mapping model, either one of the built-in baseline gamut mapping models, or a plug-in gamut mapping model. • As with DMPs, a GMMP that targets a plug-in GMM must also specify a baseline gamut mapping model as a fallback. • WCS profiles are embedded in image formats as a private tag in a WCS-created approximating ICC profile • Necessary for interoperability off of Windows Vista™

  12. A WCS sRGB profile

  13. WCS Device Models • WCS device models use the measurement data from a DMP to instantiate a model that relates device color space coordinates to CIEXYZ • Baseline device models implement different algorithms and processing models for different device classes • Third parties can extend the set of device models by writing plug-in device models

  14. WCS Baseline Device Models • CRT Device Model • LCD Device Model • RGB Capture Device Model • RGB Projector Device Model • RGB Printer Device Model • CMYK Printer Device Model • RGB Virtual Device Model • Used for wcsRGB • ICC Virtual Device Model • Enables use of ICC profiles in WCS transforms

  15. WCS Gamut Mapping Models (GMMs) • All gamut mapping is performed between explicit source and destination GBD Shells in CIECAM02 JCh • WCS Baseline Gamut Mapping Models correspond roughly to ICC rendering intents • Third parties can extend the set of available GMMs by writing gamut mapping plug-ins

  16. WCS Baseline GMMs • Sigmoidal Gaussian Knee Clipping (SGKC) • Equivalent to ICC’s preferred, pictorial, or perceptual intent. • Selected by Photo.gmmp • Minimum Color Difference (MinCD) • Equivalent to ICC colorimetric intents: • Relative if neutral axis mapping is done • Selected by Proofing.gmmp • Absolute without neutral axis mapping • Selected by MediaSim.gmmp • HueMap • Equivalent to ICC saturation or business graphics intent • Selected by Graphics.gmmp

  29. XPS and WCS DemonstrationCMYK and n-channel support in IE

  30. Application/Driver Color Communication • Conversations to avoid “double color management” • “What profile do you think best matches your current state?” • “I’ve already done the color conversion with this profile: Do no further color management (CM)” • “You do the CM using this destination profile” • “You do the CM using your idea of the best profile for your current state” • “You apply your propriety color magic” • “I’ve created a color managed print DC, you do no further CM”

  31. In Summary • WSC supports existing color workflows • WCS provides continuing, enhanced ICC support • WCS supports “high, wide, & deep” color • WCS implement state-of-the art color science • WCS represents a commitment by Microsoft to provide an extensible platform for color innovation that will be viable for years to come

  32. Color Best Practices • Populate, persist, and promote accurate metadata • Associate and embed accurate color profiles • Use and preserve embedded profiles • If you change color space, update the metadata • If you don’t understand the metadata, preserve it • Have your installers associate profiles with your devices • If it’s not actually an sRGB device, it should have associated profile(s) • Minimize number of color conversions in your workflows • Your driver should be aware of your device state and the correct profile for that state • WCS provides choices – choose what makes sense for your business

  33. Opportunities And Advantages • Your ICC-based workflows continue to work and can now take advantage of version 4 ICC profiles • The new WCS XML-based color profiles are easily programmatically updated, enabling self-characterizing devices • Third parties can add value via new plug-in device models and gamut mapping models • Vendors can write DM and GMM plug-ins that communicate with one another during processing • Support for high dynamic range, wide gamut, high precision color data (HWD) in WCS enables integration of such innovative devices into color managed workflows
