Preferences — Layout — Color Manager
Use the Color Manager panes of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu)
to define colors so they display or output consistently across all devices.
In the Source Options area:
• Use the Source Setup drop-down menu to specify the source color space of pictures
and colors used in QuarkXPress.
• To enable the Profile Information command in the Window menu and the
Color Management tab in the Import Picture dialog box, check Enable access
to image profiles. This option allows you to view information about profiles.
Print layouts only: To specify how layouts display when you use the View > Proof
Output submenu, use the options in the Soft Proofing area:
• To specify a default proof output setup, choose an option from the Proof Output
drop-down menu.
• To specify a rendering intent for soft proofing, choose an option from the
Rendering Intent drop-down list. Perceptual scales all the colors in the source
gamut so that they all fit within the destination gamut. 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. Saturation considers the saturation of source colors and changes them to
colors with the same relative saturation in the destination gamut. Absolute
Colorimetric retains colors that are in both the source gamut and the destination
gamut. Colors that are outside the destination gamut are adjusted in relation to
how they would look when printed on white paper. Defined by Sources uses the
rendering intents defined in source setup for all colors and images.
Print layouts only: In the Vector EPS/PDF Files area:
• To color manage vector content in imported EPS and PDF files, check Color
Manage Vector EPS/PDF. Note that this preference applies only to EPS and PDF
files imported after this box is checked.
• 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.
Preferences — Layout — Layers
Use the Layers pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify
the settings used when a new layer is created.
• To make new layers visible by default, check Visible.
• To suppress the printout of new layers by default, check Suppress Output.
• To make new layers locked by default, check Locked.
• To maintain runaround on new layers so that text on visible layers flows around
items on hidden layers, click Keep Runaround.
