Working with source and output setups in Job Jackets
When you create a project from a Job Jackets file, the appropriate source setups
and output setups are included and selected for you. You can still import,
append, and create additional setups, and select those setups for display and
output.
Working in a legacy color management environment
You can open projects from QuarkXPress 7.x, 8.x, or 9.x, and be confident that
color will display and output as it always has.
You can continue to work in a legacy color management environment from
QuarkXPress versions 7.x, 8.x, or 9.x. If you choose to work in a legacy color
management environment, you can still take advantage of the soft proofing
features in QuarkXPress.
You can easily upgrade to the QuarkXPress 7 methods by changing the Source
Setup to QuarkXPress Default (or to a custom option) in Color Manager
preferences (QuarkXPress/Edit menu > Preferences). The Source Setup is layout
specific, so if you open a project with multiple layouts, you can change the
source setup for each layout. Then, make sure any output setups you use (Edit >
Color Setups > Output) specify QuarkXPress Default profiles rather than profiles
from previous versions.
Proofing color on screen (soft proofing)
QuarkXPress provides display simulation that is accurate enough for soft
proofing a range of output. Using the information in the source setup, output
setup, and any other custom settings (such as different profiles applied to
pictures), the flexible simulation options show how the same layout will look
when output to different media and for different printing methods.
To perform soft proofing, choose an option from the Proof Output submenu of
the View menu. The menu lists all the output setups available in the layout, so if
you have imported custom output setups from a color expert, they are listed
here. When you choose an option, the entire layout displays in that color space
— including the Colors palette (Window menu) and any color swatches shown
throughout QuarkXPress.
