Choose an appropriate ICC profile to embed when saving a file for each color space. Use the
following guidelines for specifying working spaces:
• For RGB, choose the profile for the default RGB color space used by the Color Server, for
example, Fiery RGB or EFIRGB. New RGB documents you create in Photoshop will use
this working space.
• For CMYK, choose a profile that describes your target press (such as SWOP, DIC, or
Japan Color) if you are a prepress user. If you are a user who prints final output, choose an
output profile that describes the device connected to the Color Server. To use a device-
specific output profile, you must copy the profile from the Color Server to your computer
(see Command WorkStation Help). New CMYK documents you create in Photoshop will
use the specified working space.
• For guidelines on specifying the Gray working space, see the documentation that
accompanies Photoshop.
3 In the Color Management Policies area, choose Preserve Embedded Profiles from the RGB,
CMYK, and Gray menus.
4 Select the following options:
Profile Mismatches:
Ask When Opening, Ask When Pasting
Missing Profiles:
Ask When Opening
These options allow you to override the color management policies when opening documents
or importing color data.
We recommend that you use these settings so that you are notified before any application
color management is applied.
5 In the Conversion Options area, choose settings for converting between color spaces.
Choose Adobe (ACE) from the Engine menu to use the built-in color management engine
for Photoshop.
Choose a rendering intent from the Intent menu that optimizes the color quality of the
conversion. For information about choosing the rendering intent, see the documentation that
accompanies Photoshop.
Select the Use Black Point Compensation and Use Dither (8-bit/channel images) options to
optimize the quality of color conversions.
