In some cases, you may find more than one ICC profile for your device, each
differentiated with a numeric code like D93 or 6500K. These numbers indicate
the color temperature, a number that describes the color of light emitted
by the light source, specifically a theoretical object called a blackbody
radiator. (In the real world, the closest analog is the sun.) The K numbers
indicate temperatures in degrees Kelvin (e.g., 5000K, 6500K, 9300K) while the D
numbers indicate standard illuminants (colors of light) corresponding to
Figure 4-16. Use QuickGamma to adjust your monitor so colors are displayed more

specific correlated color temperatures (CCT). If in doubt, choose 5000K or
D50, both of which correspond to ???soft daylight.???
When the new ICC profile shows up in the Profiles associated with this
device list, highlight it and click Set as Default Profile.
When you??™re done with your monitor, repeat the process for your printer(s)
and scanner(s). In most cases, you??™ll want to use the same color temperature
(D or K value) for each ICC profile you use.
Now, your digital camera does things a little differently. If it??™s like most
cameras, it should store the appropriate ICC information in the EXIF data
(discussed in the next section) embedded into each photo file you shoot.
