To create a custom proof setup:
1 Choose View > Proof Setup > Custom.
2 In the Proof Setup dialog box, for Profile, choose the color profile for the device for
which you want to create the proof.
3 If you chose a proof profile using the document's current color model, do one of the
following:
Select Preserve Color Numbers to simulate how the document will appear without
•
converting colors to the proof profile space.
Deselect Preserve Color Numbers to simulate how the document will appear if colors
•
are converted to the proof profile space in an effort to preserve the colors' visual
appearances. Then specify a rendering intent for the conversion; for more information,
see "Specifying a rendering intent" on page
4 Click OK.
Changing the color profile of a document
In some cases you may want to use the Assign Profile command to assign a different color
profile to a document with an existing profile, or remove the existing profile altogether.
For example, you may want to prepare the document for a different output destination,
or you may want to correct a policy behavior that you no longer want implemented on the
document. The Assign Profile command is recommended only for advanced users.
Note: The Assign Profile command is not available when the Emulate Adobe Illustrator 6.0
setting is chosen in the Color Settings dialog box.
To reassign or discard the profile of a document:
1 Choose Edit > Assign Profile.
2 Select one of the following:
Don't Color Manage This Document to remove the existing profile from the document.
•
Select this option only if you are sure that you do not want to color-manage the
document.
Working <color model: working space> to assign the working space profile to a
•
document that either uses no profile or a profile different from the working space.
Profile to reassign a different profile to a color-managed document. Choose the desired
•
profile from the menu. Illustrator assigns the new profile to the document without
converting colors to the profile space.
3 Click OK.
Embedding profiles in saved documents
By default, a document for which you have specified color management will have its
profile embedded upon saving in a file format that supports embedded ICC profiles. These
formats include the native Illustrator format (.ai), PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and the native Photoshop
format (.psd). Profiles are not saved by default with non-color-managed documents.
