Audit processing mode

CMRs with the audit processing mode refer to processing that was applied to a resource. In most cases, audit CMRs describe input data and are similar to ICC input profiles.

The audit processing mode is used primarily with color conversion CMRs. In audit processing mode, the CMRs indicate which ICC profile must be applied to convert the data into the Profile Connection Space (PCS).

For example, to take a photograph with a digital camera and then include the photograph in an AFP spooled file, you can use AFP Resource Installer to:
  1. Create a color conversion CMR from the ICC profile of your camera.
  2. Install your photograph in a resource directory.
  3. Associate the color conversion CMR with the data object, indicating the audit processing mode.

Then, you create a spooled file that includes the data object. When the spooled file is processed, the system uses the color conversion CMR to convert the colors in the image into the PCS. The colors can then be converted into the color space of the printer that is printing it.
