Color Settings

Color Management can keep colors consistent across different outputs by using Color Profiles. When producing output to a new device, color adjustments are made to present the color as accurately as possible on this new device.

  • Enable Color Management: Check to disable color management and ignore embedded color profiles when importing images (with the exception of imported PDF files as it might contain a multiple tagged sub images).
  • Working Space Group: Defines the color profiles for the current template
    • RGB: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for RGB colors. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\rgb".
    • CMYK: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for CMYK colors. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\cmyk"
    • Gray: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for Grayscale. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\gray"
  • Untagged Images Group: Defines color profiles for any image that does not specifically have color profiles or color settings enabled.
    • RGB: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for RGB colors. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\rgb".
    • CMYK: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for CMYK colors. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\cmyk"
    • Gray: Use the dropdown to select a color profile for Grayscale. The list displays ICC profiles located in "%USERPROFILE%\Connect\color-profiles\gray"
  • Options Group:
    • Rendering intent: Use the dropdown to specify how colors are converted that are out of range of a profile. For example, we may use tricks like reducing the saturation of the entire print so that a color that is out of range still appears a bit more vibrant than ones that are in range. Rendering intents simply use different methods to "trick" the eye into believing that the print can reproduce irreproducible colors.
