To install a color profile
• In Windows Explorer, right-click a color profile, and click Install profile.
To load a color profile
1
Click Tools Color management Default settings.
2 In the Default color setting area,choose Load color profiles from the RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale list boxes.
3 In the Open dialog box, navigate to the color profile.
After you load a color profile, you can also access it from the Color proof settings docker, Print dialog box, and Document color
setting dialog box.
Note that you can load a color profile of any color mode from any list box: RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale. However, after you load the
profile, you can access it only from the list box of the respective color mode. For example, you can load an RGB color profile from the
CMYK list box, but you can access the profile only from the RGB list box.
You can also load a color profile from the Document color settings dialog box.
To embed a color profile
1 Click File, and then click one of the following commands:
• Save as
•
Export for  Web
2 In the dialog box that appears, enable the Embed color profiles check box.
When you save or export a file to the Corel DESIGNER (DES) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file format, you can embed
up to three color profiles.
Embedding a color profile increases the file size of a document. To avoid increasing the file size unnecessarily, Corel DESIGNER
embeds only color profiles for colors that are used in the document. For example, if your document contains only RGB objects, only
the RGB color profile will be embedded.
Assigning color profiles
When you open or import a document that is missing a color profile, by default the application automatically assigns a color profile to the
document. If the document has a color profile that is not suitable for the required destination, you can assign a different color profile to the
document. For example, if the document is intended to be displayed on the web or to be printed on a desktop printer, you should make sure
that sRGB is the document RGB profile. If the document is destined for print production, the Adobe RGB (1998) profile is a better choice,
because it has a larger gamut and produces good results when RGB colors are converted to a CMYK color space.
When you assign a different color profile to a document, the colors may appear different, although the color values do not change.
