It translates the colors that a camera captures into the colors they should look like. If you shoot in RAW and JPEG at the same time, the JPEG file is already a developed picture. Your camera can do color corrections to the data it gets from the sensor when developing a picture. In other words, if a certain camera tends to turn blue into turquoise, the manufacturers internal profile will correct for the color shift and convert those turquoise values back to their proper hue.</p>
