COLOR, OPACITY, AND DROP SHADOWS
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.
Importing output setups
If output setups are created for you, import them through the Output Setups dialog
box (Edit > Color Setups > Output). Use the Import button to navigate to and
select the output setup files.
Selecting source setups and output setups
To use custom source setups and output setups, you choose them from various color
management menus as follows:
