profiles, control which profiles are available, and determine how individual
profiles are used throughout a layout. You can perform these tasks using the
Profile Manager and Profile Usage features.
The Profile Manager and Profile Usage features are considered advanced color
management features.
Installing profiles
If you acquire new profiles from manufacturers, and those profiles are not
automatically installed at the system level, you can drag them to the “Profiles”
folder inside the “Required Components” folder in your QuarkXPress application
folder.
A system restart is required to begin using the new profile. 
The next time you launch QuarkXPress, the profiles will be available in the
relevant color management drop-down menus. Using the Profile Manager dialog
box (Utilities menu), you can specify a new profiles folder as well.
Loading profiles
If you have more profiles than you need for a particular workflow, you can
streamline the profiles available in QuarkXPress. To do this, use the Profile
Manager dialog box (Utilities menu).
Checking profile usage
When you’re working with layouts from other users, you can quickly see how
those users have implemented color management by looking at the Profiles
pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). Similar to Picture Usage and Font
Usage, the Profile Usage feature lets you see where profiles are available in the
layout and whether they’re specified in source/output setups or applied to
pictures. For profiles applied to pictures, you can replace one profile with
another.
Working with drop shadows
A drop shadow is an item attribute, much like color, that you apply using the
Measurements palette. You can create drop shadows for items, borders, text,
pictures, and more, depending on how the items are formatted.
