When you choose a predefined configuration, the Color Settings dialog box is updated to
display the specific color management settings associated with the configuration.
Customizing color management settings
Although the predefined settings can provide sufficient color management for some
typical publishing workflows, you should customize individual options to suit specific
workflows. For example, you could change the CMYK working space to a profile that
matches the proofing system used by your prepress service provider.
It’s important to save your custom configurations, so that you can reuse and share them
with other users who use the same color management workflows; for more information,
see
“Saving and loading custom color management settings” on page 348
.
The color management settings that you customize in the Color Settings dialog box
have an associated preferences file called InDesign Color Settings
,
located in the
following locations:
•
In Windows, it’s in the Documents & Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Adobe\InDesign\version 2.0\ folder.
•
In Mac OS, it’s in the Preferences\Adobe InDesign\Version 2.0 folder in your
System Folder.
To customize color management settings:
1
Choose Edit > Color Settings and select Enable Color Management.
2
To use a preset color management configuration as the starting point for your customi-
zation, choose that configuration in the Settings menu.
3
Specify the desired color settings. (As you make adjustments, the Settings menu option
changes to Custom by default.)
