and profile your monitor instead of relying on readily available monitor profiles. For more information, see “Is my monitor displaying the
correct colors?” on page 337.
Installing and loading color profiles
If you don’t have the necessary color profile, you can install it, or you can load it within the application. Installing a color profile adds it to
the Color folder of the operating system; loading a color profile adds it to the Color folder of the application. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite can
access color profiles from both Color folders.
Embedding color profiles
When you save or export a document to a file format that supports color profiles, the color profiles are embedded in the file by default.
Embedding a color profile attaches the color profile to the document to ensure that the same colors you used are shared with anyone who
views or prints the document.
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
•
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 CorelDRAW (CDR) 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, CorelDRAW 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.
