Optimizing Profiles

Speed Optimization

Script Name

IC_optspeed.scr

Concept

IC_optspeed.scr evaluates test images using complete profiles it creates with forward, reverse, and simulate transformations. It optimizes the profiles for speed and again evaluates the images.

Description

This script demonstrates that the KCMS framework can create complete profiles with forward, reverse, and simulate transformations and can optimize them for speed. The script loads a scanner, monitor, and printer profile and creates three connected profiles with the forward, reverse, and simulate operations. It evaluates each connected profile and records the time required to perform each evaluation in the log file. Then it optimizes the connected profiles for speed and repeats evaluations. The time required to perform each evaluation is again recorded to the log file. The script does not save the color-managed images.

Verification

Each of the commands performed in this test is expected to complete successfully. The optimized profiles are expected to reduce the time required to evaluate the image.

Size Optimization

Script Name

IC_optsize.scr

Concept

IC_optsize.scr creates complete profiles that have forward, reverse, and simulate transformations and gets the profile sizes. It optimizes the complete profiles for size. Then it gets the new profile sizes. The profiles are written to the log file.

Description

This test script demonstrates that the KCMS framework can create complete profiles with forward, reverse, and simulate transformations and can optimize them for size. It uses scanner, color space, and printer profiles to test the OPTIMIZE: command for size. It creates complete profiles, specifying the forward, reverse, and simulate transformations. Using the GETATTR: command, it gets the size of the complete profiles. Once this is done, it uses the OPTIMIZE: command to optimize an image for size. Again the script gets the size of each of the completed profiles.

Verification

Each of the commands performed is expected to complete successfully. The optimized profile sizes are expected to be reduced from the original sizes.
