MHC2Gen

The Windows 11 2022 Update introduces Auto Color Management (ACM), a powerful system-level color management feature aimed at ensuring accurate and consistent colors across all Windows apps and displays. ACM enables apps, even those not explicitly designed for color management, to display accurate and consistent colors on a wide range of displays.

Moreover, it allows apps to access billions of colors with high precision, providing more detailed and artifact-free rendering of content like gradients and shadows. If you fancy the idea of experiment with ACM, then you can consider using specialized tools, such as MHC2Gen.

Based on the documentation, you need ICC profiles with private extensions (MHC ICC profiles) are required to fully test ACM. This is where the app comes into play, as it generates the required profiles by taking the existing ICC profiles created with other calibration solutions, such as DisplayCAL, for instance.

Since you no longer have to worry about the creating the correct profiles or other technical details, you can focus on testing and optimizing your apps for ACM. In addition to ensuring colors are displayed accurately across devices, the app can also serve educational purposes as it lets experiment with different color profiles, understand the nuances of color management, and explore the impact of ACM on visual content.

MHC2Gen can be a streamlined solution and invaluable tool for anyone interested in delving into the intricacies of ACM. In other words, by generating MHC ICC profiles from existing calibration profiles, the utility facilitates the exploration of ACM's advanced color capabilities.

Broadly speaking, the app can serve as a bridge between users and the advanced color management introduced by ACM. Considering that it provides a practical means to explore, experiment, and optimize the color reproduction of applications and visual content, it can help you figure out the best way to enhance the overall Windows user experience.
