Devices Tab in Color Management Windows 7
|  | 
			Different types of devices have different 
			color characteristics and capabilities. For example, your monitor 
			display can't show the same set of colors that a printer can 
			reproduce. This is because each device uses a different process to 
			produce color content. Scanners and digital cameras have different 
			color characteristics as well. Even different programs will 
			occasionally interpret and process colors differently. Without a 
			consistent color management system, the same picture can look 
			different on each of these devices.
			
			How color content appears also depends on the viewing conditions 
			(such as ambient lighting) because the human eye adapts to different 
			lighting conditions, even when viewing the same picture. Color 
			management systems maintain an acceptable appearance of color on 
			devices with different color capabilities and across different 
			viewing conditions.
