What's a virtual color managed device?

A virtual device is a color managed device that is not connected to the computer. Examples of this might be:

  • An online print-shop where photos are uploaded, printed and sent to you

  • Photos from a digital camera stored on a memory card

To create a virtual profile for a digital camera just drag and drop on of the image files onto the System Settings ▸ Color dialog. You can then assign profiles to it like any other device or even calibrate it.
