This paper discusses the implementation of a Colour Management workflow within the post production scenario in the motion picture industry. Beside other image quality aspects like contrast ratio and sharpness the colour reproduction plays a very important role. The main aim is to improve the predictability (reproduceability) and to softproof the cinema screen on class 1 video studio monitors. For this purpose, the ICC Colour Management has been implemented in the motion picture environment. Within a labarotory setup, scanner, display and printer profiles were created. Furthermore, methods were established to accommodate the differences between the ICC specifications and the motion picture workflow. In addition, new white scaling algorithms were selected and tested. While the average delta E's were decreased significantly by the ICC colour management, improvements are still required for some special colour regions.
