Through static and runtime analysis CLK seeks automatically to select and configure the appropriate machine to run any provided disk, tape or ROM; to issue any commands necessary to run the software contained on the disk, tape or ROM; and to provide accelerated loading where feasible.
The full process of loading a title — even if you've never used the emulated machine before — is therefore:
With CLK installed the full process of loading a piece of software — even if you've never used the machine it runs on before — is therefore:
1. locate it in your OS;
2. double click it.

So there's no need to wade through creating a new machine, inserting media into it or figuring out which loading command goes with this piece of software, and no import procedure — CLK does not attempt to take ownership of your files or to usurp your OS.

Consider an ordinary, unmodified Commodore Vic-20. Its only video output is composite. Therefore the emulated machine's only video output is composite. In order to display the video output, your GPU must decode composite video. Therefore composite video artefacts are present and correct not because of a post hoc filter but because the real signal is really being processed.
