Working in the default color management environment
The default settings are designed to provide accurate previews and excellent
output in the majority of situations. You do not need to set anything, but if you
want to look at the default settings, you can check the Display and Color
Manager selections in the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu).
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,
