</h3>
<p id="1006515" class="Body">
<a name="1006515"> </a>A color management system helps you consistently achieve accurate colors across a variety of devices. The first stage in setting up your color management system is to choose color profiles for your monitor and each of the devices you use, such as scanners, digital cameras, and printers.
</p>
<p id="1006521" class="Body">
<a name="1006521"> </a>Different brands and models of monitors, scanners, digital cameras, and printers have different color spaces, and thus require different color profiles. Some widely used profiles are installed with your application.

<a name="999096"> </a>KCMS integrates with your system software, where Corel Painter and other programs can use it. Several files must be loaded on startup to enable KCMS for a work session. If the files aren't loaded, KCMS is unavailable.
