ColorSync RGB Profile check box.
• To choose a profile from a different location in your system, deactivate the Use ColorSync RGB
Profile check box, click on the File button and choose the desired profile from the dialogue
that appears.
ICC Profiles (CQtiff) (PC)
This section lets you determine the ICC profile that will be applied during separation.
• Click on the Browse button. Use the dialogue that appears to locate and choose the desired
RGB output profile.
