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 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 bureau or printer may provide setups for you that help ensure
appropriate output for their equipment.
Appending source setups
If source setups are created for a project you work on, you can append those source
setups to other projects. Use the Append button in the Source Setups dialog box
(Edit > Color Setups > Source) to navigate to and select a source setup.
