KcsProfileFormat

Each KcsProfile base class contains a pointer to a KcsProfileFormat object. This allows the architecture to link different profile formats and keep the KcsProfile class independent of the actual profile format. The KcsProfileFormat object is created based on the profile format Id (also called profile file signature) and profile version number. The ICC profile format Id is acsp, located at byte 36 in the profile header. (See "ICC Profile Header " .) The version number is derived from the profile version number; ICC profile byte 8. The framework uses the version number with the profile format Id so that it can handle different versions of profile formats. For non-ICC profile formats the format Id and version number must be at the same byte location in the static store.
