TOPIC APPEARS IN:

Set up color management

  1. Do one of the following:

    • (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) Choose Edit > Color Settings.

    • (Acrobat) Select the Color Management category of the Preferences dialog box.

  2. Select a color setting from the Settings menu, and click OK.

    The setting you select determines which color working spaces are used by the application, what happens when you open and import files with embedded profiles, and how the color management system converts colors. To view a description of a setting, select the setting and then position the pointer over the setting name. The description appears at the bottom of the dialog box.

    Note: Acrobat color settings are a subset of those used in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

    In certain situations, such as if your service provider supplies you with a custom output profile, you may need to customize specific options in the Color Settings dialog box. However, customizing is recommended for advanced users only.

    Note: If you work with more than one Adobe application, it is highly recommended that you synchronize your color settings across applications. (See Synchronize color settings across Adobe applications.)
