The ICCHEADER structure is used to save all the information and data about an ICC profile header.

Member	Description
uSize	A value that indicates the size of the ICC profile in bytes.
nCmmID	A value that indicates the Color Management Module for the profile.
uVersion	A value that indicates the version of the ICC profile.
uDeviceClass	A value that indicates the device class profile of the ICC profile. For a list of possible values, refer to ICCPROFILECLASS.
uColorSpace	A value that indicates the color space used for the ICC profile. For a list of possible values, refer to ICCCOLORSPACE.
uPCS	A value that indicates the color space used for the Profile Connection Space. For a list of possible values, refer to ICCCOLORSPACE.
DateTime	Pointer to ICC_DATE_TIME_NUMBER structure that contains the date and time of creation of the ICC profile.
nProfileSignature	A value that indicates the profile signature.
uPlatform	A value that indicates the primary platform for which the ICC profile was created. For a list of possible values, refer to ICCPLATFORMSIGNATURE.
uFlags	Flags that indicate if the ICC profile is embedded, and if the ICC profile can be used independently from the embedded color data. You can use a bitwise OR (\|) to specify one flag from each group. The following flags indicate if the ICC profile is embedded or not:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_EMBEDDED_PROFILE_FALSE	[0x00000000] ICC profile is not embedded
	ICC_EMBEDDED_PROFILE_TRUE	[0x00000001] ICC profile is embedded
	The following flags indicate if the ICC profile can be used independently from the embedded color data or not:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_USE_ANYWHERE	[0x00000000] ICC profile can be used independently
	ICC_USE_WITH_EMBEDDED_DATA_ONLY	[0x00000002] ICC profile cannot be used independently
nManufacturer	A value that indicates the device manufacturer for the device for which the ICC profile was created.
uModel	A value that indicates the model of the device for which the ICC profile was created.
uAttributes	Flags that identify attributes unique to a particular device. You can use a bitwise OR (\|) to specify one flag from each group. The following flags indicate the transparency of the media:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_REFLECTIVE	[0x0000000000000000] Reflective media
	ICC_TRANSPARENCY	[0x0000000000000001] Transparent media
	The following flags indicate if the media is glossy or matte:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_GLOSSY	[0x0000000000000000] Glossy media
	ICC_MATTE	[0x0000000000000002] Matte media
	The following flags indicate media polarity:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_MEDIA_POLARITY_POSITIVE	[0x0000000000000000] Positive media polarity
	ICC_MEDIA_POLARITY_NEGATIVE	[0x0000000000000004] Negative media polarity
	The following flags indicate if the media is colored or not:
	Value	Meaning
	ICC_COLOR_MEDIA	[0x0000000000000000] Color media
	ICC_BLACK_AND_WHITE	[0x0000000000000008] Black and white media
uRenderingIntent	A value that indicates the rendering intent. For a list of possible values, refer to ICCRENDERINGINTENT.
Illuminant	Pointer to ICC_XYZ_NUMBER structure that indicates the CIEXYZ values of the illuminant used for the profile connection space.
nCreator	A value that identifies the creator of the ICC profile.
uProfileID	An array that contains 16 byte values generated using an MD5 algorithm. This indicates a checksum value for the ICC profile.
uReserved	An array of reserved bytes for the ICC organization.

Comments

The nCmmID value must match a CMM type signature registered in the ICC registry. If no preferred CMM is identified, this field is set to zero (00000000h). The registration authority for this data is the ICC Technical Secretary. Set the ICC web site (www.color.org) for contact information.

The uVersion contains the value ICC_PROFILE_VER42 for ICC version 4.2.0.0 over which this ICC profile structure and all the functions associated with it was built.

For all profile classes, other than a device link profile, the profile connection space field uPCS is either XyzData or LabData. When the device class is a device link profile, the value of the profile connection space must be an appropriate color space from the list in ICCCOLORSPACE.

The nProfileSignature contains the fixed value of ICC_PROFILE_SIG. Please note that ICC_PROFILE_SIG is the actual value that is always used for the nProfileSignature member.

If there is no primary platform identified, uPlatform is set to NoPlatformSignature (0x00000000).

The nManufacturer and uModel values must match the signature contained in the appropriate section of the ICC signature registry found at (http://www.color.org/). If not used, this field is set to zero (00000000h).

For the Illuminant field, the only illuminant permitted for the profile connection space is D50 (where X=0.9642; Y=1.0 and z=0.8249).

The nCreator value must match the signature contained in the device manufacturer section of the ICC signature registry found at (www.color.org). If not used, this field is set to zero (00000000h).

The uProfileID value is generated using the MD5 fingerprinting method as defined in the Internet RFC 1321. If it has not been calculated, the value of the uProfileID is set to zero (00000000h).

The uReserved member is reserved for future ICC definition and is set to zero (00000000h).
