CONSISTENT COLOR
Maintaining consistent color throughout
the design process is both an important
goal and a technical challenge. An asset’s
colors should look as similar as possible
during the creation, layout, and printing
phases of your workflow.
Photoshop
and Illustrator can embed a profile of
your asset’s color values when saving
a file. InDesign
can then read that profile
and use it to display consistent colors
from monitor to printed page.
Consistent Color with Adobe Bridge
When you set up color management
using Adobe® Bridge CS3, color settings
are synchronized across Photoshop,
Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat.
This synchronization ensures that colors
look the same in all color-managed
Creative Suite components.
If color settings are not synchronized,
a warning message appears at the
top of the Color Settings dialog box
in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign,
and Acrobat.
Adobe recommends that you synchronize
color settings before you work with new
or existing documents.
1
Open Bridge. To open Bridge from
another Creative Suite component,
choose File > Browse. To open Bridge
directly, either choose Bridge from
the Start menu (Windows) or double-click
the Bridge icon (Mac OS).
2
Choose Edit > Creative Suite Color
Settings. 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 profiles.
3
To install a custom settings profile,
such as a file you received from a print
service provider, click Show Saved
Color Settings Files.
