Output Basic color
management
Select this option if you want to select different
profiles for your monitor and printer. Select an
appropriate profile from the Monitor Profile and
Printer Profile options.
Proof colors on your
monitor and/or printer
as they would look on
another device
Select this option if you want your monitor and
printer so simulate other devices for proofing.
You can choose your printer profile to be the
emulated device and then preview what the
output from your printer would look like on your
monitor (soft proofing). You can also set the
emulated device to the profile of a third-party
printer that you do not have available, so that you
can proof the result on your own printer (hard
proofing). Select an appropriate profile from the
Monitor Profile, Printer Profile, and Emulated
Device Profile.
Monitor Profile Specifies the color profile to use with your
monitor.
Printer Profile Specifies the color profile to use with your printer.
Emulated Device Profile Specifies the color profile of the device you want
your monitor or printer to emulate so that you
can proof the image using the correct color
profile.
Rendering Intent Specifies the rendering intent for output devices.
The default value for basic output devices is
Perceptual. If the selected color profiles have
embedded rendering instructions, ACDSee will
use those rendering instructions rather than
using what you selected from the Rendering
Intent drop-down list. Some profiles ignore
rendering intents, so outcomes may vary.
