Title: New Color control panel applet for Windows XP
Post by: blowery on November 14, 2005, 12:30:16 pm

Microsoft has published a new Color control panel applet at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1E33DCA0-7721-43CA-9174-7F8D429FBB9E&displaylang=en)

From the web page:

Using the Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet, you can:

• Install and uninstall ICC color profiles
     
• Inspect, rename, and compare two different color profiles
     
• View a 3D graphics plot of color profile color gamuts
     
• Associate color profiles with devices such as printers, monitors, and scanners
     
• Apply custom color gamut adjustments to one or more displays “on the fly”
     
• Set up display calibration reminders at intervals you specify

I just installed it, but it looks handy for us folks running on WinXP.  Anyone else trying it out?

Microsoft also has a nice Powertoy called SyncToy.  It lets you easily control sync options on two folders.  Makes it easy to flip on a USB disk drive and copy all your photos over to it.

I have downloaded it for my WinXP MC and hope it brings all the various profiles and color management files onto 1 location. I havent used it yet but hope to soon.
