Using predefined color management settings
Photoshop offers a collection of predefined color management settings designed to
produce consistent color for a common publishing workflow, such as preparation for Web
or offset press output. In most cases, the predefined settings will provide sufficient color
management for your needs. These settings can also serve as starting points for custom-
izing your own workflow-specific settings.
To choose a predefined color management setting, choose one of the following options
from the Settings menu in the Color Settings dialog box.
Color Management Off
Uses passive color management techniques to emulate the
behavior of applications that do not support color management. Although working space
profiles are considered when converting colors between color spaces, Color Management
Off does not tag documents with profiles. Use this option for content that will be output
on video or as on-screen presentations; do not use this option if you work mostly with
documents that are tagged with color profiles.
ColorSync Workflow (Mac OS only)
Manages color using the ColorSync CMS with the
profiles chosen in the ColorSync control panel. Use this option if you want to use color
management with a mix of Adobe and non-Adobe applications. This color management
configuration is not recognized by Windows systems, or by versions of ColorSync earlier
than 3.0.
Emulate Photoshop 4
Emulates the color workflow used by the Mac OS version of
Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and earlier.
