A program product comprising a computer executable program for creating a profile, said computer executable program comprising:

• a selecting manager for selecting one of a first processing mode and a second processing mode for creating respective profiles of a display and a printer, respectively;
• a first profile taking manager for taking a first captured image obtained by capturing a predetermined first reference image displayed on said display by using a digital image capture device, when said first processing mode is selected;
• a first profile creating manager for creating said profile of said display based on said first captured image;
• a second profile taking manger for taking a second captured image obtained by capturing an image of a printed matter printed by a printer in accordance with a predetermined second reference image by using said digital image capture device, when said second processing mode is selected, and
• a second profile creating manager for creating said profile of said printer based on said second captured image.
