ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 127 User Guide It's important to save your custom configurations so that you can reuse and share them with other users and Adobe applications that use the same color management workflows. The color management settings that you customize in the Color Settings dialog box have an associated preferences file called Color Settings.csf, found in the Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings folder. Note: The default location of the Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings folder varies by operating system; use your operating system's Find command to locate this folder. To customize color management settings: 1 Choose Edit > Color Settings. 2 To use a preset color management configuration as the starting point for your customization, choose that configuration from the Settings menu. 3 Specify the desired color settings. As you make adjustments, the Settings menu option changes to Custom by default. For detailed customization instructions, see "Specifying working spaces" on page 127, "Specifying color management policies" on page 128, and "Customizing advanced color management settings" on page 130. 4 Save your custom configuration so that it can be reused. (See "Saving and loading color management settings" on page 130.) 5 Click OK. Specifying working spaces In a color-managed workflow, each color mode must have a working space profile associated with it. (See "About working spaces" on page 125.) Photoshop ships with a standard set of color profiles that have been recommended and tested by Adobe Systems for most color management workflows. By default, only these profiles appear in the working space menus. To display additional color profiles that you have customized or installed on your system, select Advanced Mode in the Color Settings dialog box. To appear in a working space menu, a color profile must be bidirectional, that is, contain specifications for translating both into and out of color spaces. You can also create a custom RGB, CMYK, Grayscale, or Spot working space profile to describe the color space of a particular output or display device. For more information, see "Creating custom RGB profiles," "Creating custom CMYK profiles," and "Creating custom grayscale and spot-color profiles" in online Help. For information about a specified RGB or CMYK working space profile, see the Description area of the Color Settings dialog box. (See "Setting up color management" on page 124.) The following information can help you specify an appropriate Gray or Spot working space: • You can specify a Gray or Spot working space profile that is based on the characteristics of a particular dot gain. Dot gain occurs when a printer's halftone dots change as the ink spreads and is absorbed by paper. Photoshop calculates
