Remarks

The Start method must be called after calling the Startup method and before calling any other LEADTOOLS Color Space methods in the case of indirect conversion. When the color conversion engine is no longer needed, it should be freed by calling Stop. For every call to Start there must be a call to Stop. If parameters is null(Nothing), the default built in conversion is assumed, and any subsequent calls to SetParameters will only affect CMYK conversion parameters. When you choose the conversion method, be sure not to combine the Profiles option (ConversionMethodFlags.ConversionMethodFlags.UseIcc) with the Custom Profiles option (ConversionMethodFlags.ConversionMethodFlags.UseCustomIcc), or the Emulation Tables method (ConversionMethodFlags.ConversionMethodFlags.UseEmulationTables) with the custom Emulation Tables method (ConversionMethodFlags.ConversionMethodFlags.UseCustomEmulationTables). Supports conversion using ICC Devicelink profiles with option ConversionMethodFlags.UseCustomIcc and using it as input profile.
