Adobe GOLIVE CS2 User Manual page 668

Illustrator and InDesign support a safe CMYK workflow by default. As a result, when you open or import a CMYK
image with an embedded profile, the application ignores the profile and preserves the raw color numbers. If you want
your application to adjust color numbers based on an embedded profile, change the CMYK color policy to Preserve
Embedded Profiles in the Color Settings dialog box. You can easily restore the safe CMYK workflow by changing the
CMYK color policy back to Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked Profiles).
You can override safe CMYK settings when you print a document or save it to PDF. However, doing so may cause
colors to be reseparated. For example, pure CMYK black objects may be reseparated as rich black. For more infor­
mation on color management options for printing and saving PDF files, search in Help.

Preparing imported graphics for color management
Use the following general guidelines to prepare graphics for being color-managed in Adobe applications:
Embed an ICC-compliant profile when you save the file. The file formats that support embedded profiles are
•
JPEG, PDF, PSD (Photoshop), AI (Illustrator), INDD (InDesign), and TIFF. (See "To embed a color profile in a
document" on page 668.)
If you plan to reuse a color graphic for multiple final output devices or media, such as for print, video, and the web,
•
prepare the graphic using RGB or Lab colors whenever possible. If you must save in a color model other than RGB
or Lab, keep a copy of the original graphic. RGB and Lab color models represent larger color gamuts than most
output devices can reproduce, retaining as much color information as possible before being translated to a smaller
output color gamut.
To view or change profiles for imported bitmap images
InDesign allows you to view, override, or disable profiles for imported bitmap images. This may be necessary when
you are importing an image containing no profile or an incorrectly embedded profile. For example, if the scanner
manufacturer's default profile was embedded but you have since generated a custom profile, you can assign the newer
profile.
1 Do one of the following:
If the graphic is already in layout, select it and choose Object > Image Color Settings.
•
If you're about to import the graphic, choose File > Place, select Show Import Options, locate and select the file,
•
and click Place. Then choose Color Settings from the menu at the top of the Image Import Options dialog box that
appears.
2 For Profile, choose the source profile to apply to the graphic in your document. If a profile is currently embedded,
the profile name appears at the top of the Profile menu.
(Optional) For Rendering Intent, choose a rendering intent. In most cases, it's best to use the default rendering
3
intent.
Click OK.
