Fine-tuning color management for individual pictures
If you need to specify profiles and rendering intents for individual pictures, you can
still do that in much the same way that you did in previous versions of QuarkXPress.
This overrides the QuarkXPress default settings or the selected source setup. For
example, you might change the rendering intent of an EPS logo to saturation while
leaving the remaining pictures in a layout, mostly photographs, at perceptual.
To access color management controls for individual pictures, first make the features
available by checking Enable Access to Picture Profiles in the Color Manager pane
of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu). To apply and change profiles
for pictures:
• Changing profiles: The Profile Information palette (Window menu) displays
information about the selected picture's type and color space. You can use this palette
to quickly change the picture's Profile, Rendering Intent, and Color Manage to [type
of device] setting.
Managing profiles
Color management, at its roots, is profile driven. As you adopt new workflows, acquire
new devices, and troubleshoot output, you may need to install new profiles, control
which profiles are available, and determine how individual profiles are used throughout
a layout. You can perform these tasks using the Profile Manager and Profile Usage
features.
The Profile Manager and Profile Usage features are considered advanced color
management features.
Installing profiles
If you acquire new profiles from manufacturers, and those profiles are not automatically
installed at the system level, you can drag them to the "Profiles" folder inside the
"Required Components" folder in your QuarkXPress application folder.
A system restart is required to begin using the new profile.
The next time you launch QuarkXPress, the profiles will be available in the relevant
color management drop-down menus. Using the Profile Manager dialog box (Utilities
menu), you can specify a new profiles folder as well.
Loading profiles
If you have more profiles than you need for a particular workflow, you can streamline
the profiles available in QuarkXPress. To do this, use the Profile Manager dialog box
(Utilities menu).
Checking profile usage
When you're working with layouts from other users, you can quickly see how those
users have implemented color management by looking at the Profiles pane of the
Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). Similar to Picture Usage and Font Usage, the Profile
Usage feature lets you see where profiles are available in the layout and whether they're
specified in source/output setups or applied to pictures. For profiles applied to pictures,
you can replace one profile with another.
