To use color profiles between Windows and Macintosh platforms, you should
adhere to the following naming conventions:
•
Add a period and the three-letter extension ICM to the profile name.
•
Avoid special characters such as slashes ( / ) and parentheses.
•
Use names of no more than 27 characters in length, followed by a period and
the ICM extension. (For example, my_printer.icm.)
•
Store profiles in the FreeHand ICM folder or in the Color folder within the
Windows/System (or System 32) folder (Windows) or the ColorSync Profiles
folder in the System folder (Macintosh).
You can use the Adjust Display Color option to calibrate monitor colors visually
to match sample output colors, or numerically to match specific color values.
To match monitor colors with a printer's output, you can print sample colors on
the printer and compare the printed output with the monitor colors. This color
management option is simpler than using the Kodak Digital Science or Apple
ColorSync CMS, but it may be less accurate.
Choose a set of test colors to which you want to calibrate your monitor. Use a
1
color swatch book, or print sample colors from the target printer.
Choose Edit > Preferences. Click Colors, and choose Adjust Display Colors
2
from the Type pop-up menu, under Color Management.
Click Calibrate.

The Display Color Setup dialog box appears.
