Customizing color management settings


    Although the predefined settings should provide sufficient color management for many publishing workflows, you may sometimes want to customize individual options in a configuration. For example, you might want to change the CMYK working space to a profile that matches the proofing system used by your printer or your service bureau.

    Note: For Web publishing, the recommended RGB working space is sRGB, which reflects common Windows monitors used by most of the Web audience.

To customize color management settings:

  1. Choose Edit > Color Settings (Windows) or GoLive > Color Settings (Mac OS).
  2. To use a preset color management configuration as the starting point for your custom settings, choose that configuration from the Settings menu.
  3. Specify the desired color settings (working spaces and policies). As you make adjustments, the Settings menu option changes to Custom by default.
  4. To enable color management for pages, select Use Color Management When Displaying Images on Web Pages. (Because most browsers don't support color management, this option is deselected by default to optimize the performance of GoLive.)
  5. For detailed information about working spaces, color management policies, and conversion options, see Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, or Adobe InDesign Help.
