default settings, you can check the Display and Color Manager selections in the
Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
Specifying a monitor profile
The Display pane shows the monitor profile in use. The default setting, Automatic, refers
to the current monitor recognized by Mac OS X or Windows. You can choose a different
profile from the Monitor Profile drop-down menu. You might change the default monitor
profile, for example, if you have a custom profile for your monitor or if you're switching
between a laptop and a desktop computer and want to simulate the same viewing
environment.
Specifying a source setup
The Color Manager pane's Source Options area shows the default source setup,
QuarkXPress 7.0 Default, which provides the most recent, proven color management
environment. If you prefer the color management environment from a version of
QuarkXPress prior to 7.0, you can choose QuarkXPress Emulate Legacy from the Source
Setup drop-down menu.
Specifying a default proof output setup
To specify a default output setup for viewing color in Print layouts, choose an option from
the Proof Output drop-down list.
Specifying a rendering intent
The Rendering Intent drop-down menu shows the method used for converting colors
from one color space to another. The default setting, Relative Colorimetric, retains colors
that are in both the source gamut and the destination gamut. The only source colors that
are changed are those that are not within the destination gamut. Depending on the type
of jobs you work on — for example, if the emphasis is on line art and Pantone colors rather
than on photographs — you may want to choose a different option from the Rendering
Intent drop-down menu.
Color managing multi-color-space EPS and PDF pictures
Some EPS and PDF files can contain elements that use different color spaces. For example,
a PDF or EPS file might contain a picture that uses the RGB color space and a color that
uses the CMYK color space. To allow QuarkXPress to manage these various elements
appropriately, using the specified output setup, in subsequently imported EPS and PDF
pictures, check Color Manage Vector EPS/PDF.
To color manage vector content in EPS and PDF files that have already been imported in
the active project, check Include Existing Vector EPS/PDF in Layout.
Working with source setups and output setups from a color expert
If a color expert creates custom source setups and output setups specific to your workflow
— or even specific to individual jobs or clients — you can easily employ those setups
through preferences, view options, output settings, and Job Jackets. For example, a service
