7-10 Adobe Photoshop

It is often better to select the Black Point Compensation option. With many ICC

proﬁles, this check box has no effect. However, when it does, it has a dramatic effect on

the dark areas of your image. If you want this effect, leave Black Point Compensation;

if not, clear the selection.

ColorSync defaults

You should have ColorSync 2.5.x or later installed on your Mac OS computer. The

ICC proﬁles used by ColorSync are saved in System Folder:ColorSync Proﬁles. From

the Apple menu, choose Control Panel>ColorSync.

Use the following settings:

• System Proﬁle—choose the customized ICC proﬁle for your monitor. Set up the

Adobe Gamma proﬁle to ensure that your monitor proﬁle is present (Mac OS only).

• RGB default—choose the same RGB working color space you set in Photoshop 5.x.

NOTE: The System Proﬁle is the same one used in your monitor calibration and your

Monitors and Sounds control panel.

• CMYK default—choose the same CMYK color space you set in Photoshop 5.x.

• Preferred CMM—choose LinoColor CMM (both ColorSync 2.0 and Microsoft

ICM 2.0 are based on this color management module).
