Working with Color Profiles
A color management system helps you
consistently achieve accurate colors
across a variety of devices. The first
stage in setting up your color
management system is to choose color
profiles for your monitor and each of
the devices you use, such as scanners,
digital cameras, and printers.
Different brands and models of
monitors, scanners, digital cameras,
and printers have different color
spaces, and thus require different
color profiles. Some widely used
profiles are installed with your
application.
Standard ICC (International Color
Consortium) color profiles are used in
your application. You can choose color
profiles for a:
•monitor
• scanner/digital camera
• composite printer
• separations printer
• internal RGB color space
You can also choose to get profiles
from disk or get profiles online. To
choose the appropriate profile for a
device, check the manufacturer's
documentation for a device.
To choose a color profile:
1 Click Canvas menu > Color
Management.
2 Click a profile name under one of
the following icons:
• Scanner/digital camera
• Separations printer
•Monitor
• Composite printer
•Internal RGB
3 Choose a profile from the pop-up.
