Choosing advanced color management settings

Once you choose color profiles, the color management system uses a Color Matching Module (CMM) to match colors between devices as closely as possible. Your application uses the Kodak® Color Management System by default. You can also choose different rendering intents, which control how the color management system converts colors between different color spaces.

When you import or export graphics, you can embed, or attach, color profiles. By embedding a color profile, you can ensure color integrity; anyone viewing or printing your work will use the same colors that you used.

By enabling the gamut alarm, you can preview which on-screen colors cannot be printed. The colors that cannot be reproduced are highlighted.

The gamut alarm highlights colors that a printer cannot reproduce

There are advanced settings for separations and composite printers; you can link a color profile to a specific printer.

Using color styles, you can choose to turn color management off or to optimize the color display.
