 ICCView presents the colorspace of an ICC-profile as 3D-model.
ICCView reads two ICC-profiles at the same time to calculate a 3D-model of the colorspaces. Both ICC-profiles can be compared visually very good in the 3D-model.
- Profile selection is separated into RGB, CMYK, devices and uploads
- Automatic ICC-tag selection for 3D calculation
(AtoB for scanner and camera profiles - BtoA for display and printer profiles)
For viewing the 3D-model in VRML-format a Plugin has to be installed in your browser.

What is a ICC-profile? - How does a colorspace look like?
An ICC-colorprofile is a file that contains information about how an output device reproduces colors. Easy to say an ICC-profile contains all colors that can be reproduced on a certain output device. All colors together build the colorspace or gamut of the device. ICC profiles can be created for three types of devices: display device (monitor), input device (scanner or digital camera), or output device (printer).
The 3D-presentation allows an exact comparison of colorspaces concerning size and appearance, which is substantially improved compared to ordinary two-dimensional presentation in the CIE-xy Diagram. |

ICCView History
Feb 2008 - ICCView 2.0
- ICCView grows to a portal
- Profile selection is separated into RGB, CMYK, devices and uploads
- Automatic ICC-tag selection for 3D calculation
(AtoB for scanner and camera profiles - BtoA for display and printer profiles)
- API for using ICCView 3D models on external websites
October 2005 - Changes and new functions on ICCView
- ICCView switched from session-based to cookie-based:
Your uploaded profiles are available for 6 hours after closing the last browser window of ICCView (Cookies must be activated)
- ICC-Tags used for calculation are shown
- Cubic size of the colorspace is shown as number
- Uploads werden separat in der Auswahliste dargestellt
September 2003 - Changes and new functions on ICCView
- New button for display selection (coloured or wireframe)
- Selection of calculation direction in ICC-profile
- Calculation method (Matrix or LUT) is shown
- For Color-LookUp-Table (LUT) number of grid points is shown
- Rendering Intent can no longer be selected
(Rendering Intent is not important for size and form of 3D-colorspace)
May 2002 - ICCView go live
- ICCView can easiely compare ICC-profiles with a 3D-colorspace comparison
