(Illustrator and InDesign) Turn on Overprint Preview to get an accurate and consistent preview of spot colors.
(Illustrator and InDesign) Use Lab values (the default) to display predefined spot colors (such as colors from the
•
TOYO, PANTONE, DIC, and HKS libraries) and convert these colors to process colors. Using Lab values provides
the greatest accuracy and guarantees the consistent display of colors across Creative Suite applications. If you want
the display and output of these colors to match earlier versions of Illustrator or InDesign, use CMYK equivalent
values instead. For instructions on switching between Lab values and CMYK values for spot colors, search Illus
trator or InDesign Help
Note: Color-managing spot colors provides a close approximation of a spot color on your proofing device and monitor.
However, it is difficult to exactly reproduce a spot color on a monitor or proofing device because many spot color inks
exist outside the gamuts of many of those devices.
To share swatches between applications
You can share the solid swatches you create in one Adobe CS2 application with any other Adobe CS2 application by
saving a swatch library for exchange. The colors appear exactly the same across applications as long as your color
settings are synchronized.
1
In the Swatches palette, create the process and spot-color swatches you want to share, and remove any swatches
you don't want to share.
Note: You cannot share the following types of swatches between applications: patterns, gradients, and the Registration
swatch from Illustrator or InDesign; and book color references, HSB, XYZ, duotone, monitorRGB, opacity, total ink, and
webRGB swatches from Photoshop. These types of swatches are automatically excluded when you save swatches for
exchange.
Select Save Swatches For Exchange from the Swatches palette menu, and save the swatch libraries in an easily
2
accessible location.
Load the swatch library into the Swatches palette for any other Adobe CS2 application. See that application's Help
3
for additional instructions.
Color-managing imported images
Color-managing imported images
How imported images are integrated into a document's color space depends on whether or not the image has an
embedded profile:
When you import an image that contains no profile, the Adobe application uses the current document profile to
•
define the colors in the image.
•
When you import an image that contains an embedded profile, color policies in the Color Settings dialog box
determine how the Adobe application handles the profile. (See "Color Management Policy options" on page 672.)
Using a safe CMYK workflow
In Illustrator and InDesign, a safe CMYK workflow ensures that CMYK color numbers are preserved all the way to
the final output device, as opposed to being converted by your color management system. This workflow is beneficial
if you want to incrementally adopt color management practices. For example, you can use CMYK profiles to soft
proof and hard-proof documents without the possibility of unintended color conversions occurring during final
output.
