USING ACROBAT 9 STANDARD 331 Color management If color settings are not synchronized, a warning message appears at the top of the Color Settings dialog box in each application. Adobe recommends that you synchronize color settings before you work with new or existing documents. 1 Open Bridge. To open Bridge from a Creative Suite application, choose File > Browse. To open Bridge directly, either choose Adobe Bridge from the Start menu (Windows) or double-click the Adobe Bridge icon (Mac OS). 2 Choose Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings. 3 Select a color setting from the list, and click Apply. If none of the default settings meet your requirements, select Show Expanded List Of Color Setting Files to view additional settings. To install a custom settings file, such as a file you received from a print service provider, click Show Saved Color Settings Files. Set up color management 1 Do one of the following: • (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) Choose Edit > Color Settings. • (Acrobat) Select the Color Management category of the Preferences dialog box. 2 Select a color setting from the Settings menu, and click OK. The setting you select determines which color working spaces are used by the application, what happens when you open and import files with embedded profiles, and how the color management system converts colors. To view a description of a setting, select the setting and then position the pointer over the setting name. The description appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Note: Acrobat color settings are a subset of those used in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. In certain situations, such as if your service provider supplies you with a custom output profile, you may need to customize specific options in the Color Settings dialog box. However, customizing is recommended for advanced users only. Note: If you work with more than one Adobe application, it is highly recommended that you synchronize your color settings across applications. (See "Synchronize color settings across Adobe applications" on page 330.) More Help topics "Customize color settings" on page 342 Change the appearance of CMYK black (Illustrator, InDesign) Pure CMYK black (K=100) appears jet black (or rich black) when viewed on-screen, printed to a non-PostScript desktop printer, or exported to an RGB file format. If you prefer to see the difference between pure black and rich black as it will appear when printed on a commercial press, you can change the Appearance Of Black preferences. These preferences do not change the color values in a document. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Appearance Of Black (Windows) or [application name] > Preferences > Appearance Of Black (Mac OS). 2 Choose an option for On Screen: Display All Blacks Accurately Displays pure CMYK black as dark gray. This setting allows you to see the difference between pure black and rich black. Display All Blacks As Rich Black Displays pure CMYK black as jet black (RGB=000). This setting makes pure black and rich black appear the same on-screen. Last updated 9/30/2011
