ColorQuartet 5.0 Pro

Modifying a CMYK profile

You can use ColorQuartet’s color tools to modify any existing CMYK profile or ICC profile, both

those that are supplied with ColorQuartet and those that you import from third-party programs.

Since this type of modification often concerns the relationship of the black separation to the

other three process colors, you may find the CMYK Curves

tool especially useful.

1 • From the CMYK Proﬁle menu in the Scan Setup window, choose the CMYK profile you want

to modify.

2 • Preview-scan a representative image or gray-scale wedge.

3 • Carry out the desired image changes.

4 • From the Color menu, choose Add to CMYK Proﬁle.

5 • In the standard dialogue that appears, type in the desired name for the new CMYK profile

and save it.
