Chapter 6: Advanced Topics This chapter provides advanced information for readers who are interested in more information about color space sizes, profile mismatching, and hard-proofing documents. About profile warning dialog boxes You might receive files that have profiles that are different than your working space, or have no embedded profiles. Depending on your CSF, you might receive a warning if a profile is missing or mismatched. However, for some workflows, it is helpful to receive these warnings so that you can make modifications. Warning dialog boxes are enabled when you select the North America Prepress 2 CSF. Only the Embedded Profile Mismatch warning is enabled when you select the North America Web/Internet CSF. When opening artwork that is missing a profile, and the profile warnings are enabled, the Missing Profile dialog box appears. The options are: • Leave As Is-Use this only if the workflow is not color managed or if you need to keep the file size slightly reduced by not embedding a profile. • Assign Working Space-Interprets the color values in the file based on the current working space. It does not convert the color values, only the intended appearance. Use this option if you know that the file is actually in your working space. • Assign Profile-Assigns a selected profile to the document. It does not convert the color values. Assigning the correct profile provides the intended appearance. Contact the file's creator to determine the proper profile to select. If a document contains an embedded profile that does not match the application's working space, the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box appears. You can handle the mismatch in the following ways: • Use the Embedded Profile-Assigns the embedded profile to the document instead of using the current working space. It maintains the color values of the file but also preserves its appearance on-screen and when printed. Note: Generally, it is good practice to use the embedded profile in your workflow. For CMYK documents, profiles provide useful information on the intended use of the file and how it was created. For example, if a designer is creating a layout for a high-quality, sheet-fed press, it is useful to know if the file was created for publication on newsprint. • Convert the Document's Colors to the Working Space-Changes the color values in the file so they match the current working space, but also maintains the color appearance of the file. Use this option to avoid having files that use different profiles. • Discard the Embedded Profile-Removes the embedded profile from the document and usually changes the document's color on-screen. Use this option only if the workflow is not color managed or to slightly reduce the file's size by removing the embedded profile. Color Workflows for Adobe Creative Suite 2 33

About profile warning dialog boxes
You might receive files that have profiles that are different than your working space,
or have no embedded profiles. Depending on your CSF, you might receive a warning
if a profile is missing or mismatched. However, for some workflows, it is helpful to
receive these warnings so that you can make modifications. Warning dialog boxes are
enabled when you select the North America Prepress 2 CSF. Only the Embedded Profile
Mismatch warning is enabled when you select the North America Web/Internet CSF.
When opening artwork that is missing a profile, and the profile warnings are enabled,
the Missing Profile dialog box appears. °e options are:
• Leave As Is—Use this only if the workflow is not color managed or if you need to keep
the file size slightly reduced by not embedding a profile.
• Assign Working Space—Interprets the color values in the file based on the current
working space. It does not convert the color values, only the intended appearance.
Use this option if you know that the file is actually in your working space.
• Assign Profile—Assigns a selected profile to the document. It does not convert the
color values. Assigning the correct profile provides the intended appearance.
Contact the file’s creator to determine the proper profile to select.
If a document contains an embedded profile that does not match the application’s
working space, the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box appears. You can handle the
mismatch in the following ways:
• Use the Embedded Profile—Assigns the embedded profile to the document instead
of using the current working space. It maintains the color values of the file but also
preserves its appearance on-screen and when printed.
Note:
Generally, it is good practice to use the embedded profile in your workflow. For
CMYK documents, profiles provide useful information on the intended use of the file
and how it was created. For example, if a designer is creating a layout for a high-quality,
sheet-fed press, it is useful to know if the file was created for publication on newsprint.
• Convert the Document’s Colors to the Working Space—Changes the color values in
the file so they match the current working space, but also maintains the color appear-
ance of the file. Use this option to avoid having files that use different profiles.
• Discard the Embedded Profile—Removes the embedded profile from the document
and usually changes the document’s color on-screen. Use this option only if the
workflow is not color managed or to slightly reduce the file’s size by removing the
embedded profile.
