# Profile Identification Dialog Help Window

LProf is an open source application that creates ICC profiles for cameras, scanners and monitors.

This dialog is used to set the values of the most common profile tags. In addition, these tags are commonly used by software such as image editors to identify profiles. In particular the Description field is used by LProf and many other common programs that use ICC profiles and have profile selection dialogs.

#### Model

Used to identify the device and device settings that this profile is for. As an example, for a camera profile for a Nikon D70 camera the value in this field might be something like "Nikon D70 - direct sun".

#### Manufacturer

Used to identify the manufacturer of the profile. This field is also used by other software to display information about the profile. You should set this to some value that identifies the profile as yours.

#### Description

This is probably the most important field on this dialog. The value entered here is used by many other applications when displaying lists of profiles. In particular Photoshop™ and the Windows™ Control Panel Applet™ will not give you access to profiles that are missing a description. In addition, it is important that the value entered here be such that it gives a unique identifier for each profile with enough information so that you can identify the profile when using a profile selection dialog in various applications that may dislpay long lists of profiles.
For consistency with other applications LProf now uses this field in it's profile selection dialogs on the Preferences tab.
