Changing The Color Profile Of A Document - Adobe PHOTOSHOP 6.0 Manual

• Simulate Ink Black to preview, in the monitor
space, the actual dynamic range defined by the
proof profile.
The availability of these options depends on the
proof profile chosen. Not all profiles support both
options.
To save your custom proof setup as a preset

Changing the color profile of a
document
In some cases you may want to convert a
document's colors to a different color profile,
tag a document with a different color profile
without making color conversions, or remove the
profile from a document 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
and Convert to Profile commands are recom-
mended only for advanced users.
When using the Assign Profile command,
you may see a shift in color appearance as color
numbers are mapped directly to the new profile
space. Convert Profile, however, shifts color
numbers before mapping them to the new profile
space, in an effort to preserve the original color
appearances.
To reassign or discard the profile of a document:
Choose Image > Mode > Assign Profile.

Select one of the following:

• Don't Color Manage This Document to remove
the profile from a tagged document. Select this
option only if you are sure that you want the
document to become untagged.
Working color mode: working space to tag the
•
document with the current working space profile.
• Profile to reassign a different profile to a
tagged document. Choose the desired profile
from the menu. Photoshop tags the document
with the new profile without converting colors to
the profile space. This may dramatically change
the appearance of the colors as displayed on
your monitor.

Under Destination Space, choose the color

profile to which you want to convert the
document's colors. The document will be
converted to and tagged with this new profile.
