What's New in Windows Vista

2022-10-12

Version 1.0 of Image Color Management (ICM) was delivered in Microsoft Windows 95, and provides basic color management capabilities within Windows device contexts.

ICM version 2.0 was delivered in Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, and WindowsXP and included a variety of new functions that implemented color management outside of device contexts. These new functions were suitable for more demanding color management requirements, and gave applications greater control over the color-management process.

With the release of Windows Vista, ICM 2.0 is now included in Windows Color System (WCS) 1.0, which adds more functionality. The following table lists new application programming interfaces (API) that ship in Windows Vista.
