default settings, you can check the monitor profile, source setup, and soft proofing
selections in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
Specifying a color engine
The Color Engine drop-down menu lets you choose which color engine is used to transform
colors for color management. The available options include LogoSync CMM, Kodak CMM,
and System Settings.
Specifying a monitor profile
The Display pane's Monitor area shows the monitor profile in use. The default setting,
Automatic, refers to the current monitor recognized by Mac OS or Windows. You can
choose a different profile from the 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, Absolute Colorimetric, renders
in-gamut colors precisely and maps out-of-gamut colors to the closest possible hue.
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, check Color manage imported EPS/PDF
in layout.
