# ColorSyncTransformCreate(_:_:)

Creates a color transform from a sequence of profiles.

```
func ColorSyncTransformCreate(_ profileSequence: CFArray?, _ options: CFDictionary?) -> Unmanaged<ColorSyncTransform>?
```

## Parameters

`profileSequence`

An array of dictionaries, each one containing a profile object and the information on the usage of the profile in the transform.

`options`

A dictionary with additional public global options (for example, preferred CMM, quality, and so on). It can also contain custom options that are CMM specific.

## Return Value

A new [`ColorSyncTransform`](/documentation/ColorSync/ColorSyncTransform), or `NULL` in case of failure.

## Discussion

Each dictionary in `profileSequence` contains a profile object and information on the
usage of the profile in the transform.

Required keys:

- [`kColorSyncProfile`](/documentation/ColorSync/kColorSyncProfile): A [`ColorSyncProfile`](/documentation/ColorSync/ColorSyncProfile).
- [`kColorSyncRenderingIntent`](/documentation/ColorSync/kColorSyncRenderingIntent): A `CFStringRef` defining the rendering intent.
- [`kColorSyncTransformTag`](/documentation/ColorSync/kColorSyncTransformTag): A `CFStringRef` defining which tags to use.

Optional key:

- [`kColorSyncBlackPointCompensation`](/documentation/ColorSync/kColorSyncBlackPointCompensation): A `CFBooleanRef` to enable or disable black point compensation.
