For device profiles for RGB images to be preserved when the images are opened
on another computer system, the profiles must be installed on that system. If the
profiles have not been installed or are not available, the Missing Image Sources
dialog box lists the missing device profiles.
If you install the original profiles and then reopen the image, the profile
assignments of the RGB images remain intact. If you do not install the original
device profiles, the default device profile for RGB images is temporarily assigned
to the image. If you reopen the image without replacing the original device profile
and then choose a new device profile, the new profile is assigned to RGB images.
You can use color tables to apply limited color management strategies in
your workflow. The Color Tables option manages only CMYK display and
RGB conversion.
The prebuilt color tables that ship with FreeHand are based on a set of default
device profiles that will provide acceptable results with most output devices.
When you use the Color Tables option, you can choose whether to manage spot
colors electronically, and you can choose how your monitor will simulate the color
space of the final output device.
If you have the Kodak Digital Science or Apple ColorSync CMS installed on your
system, you can choose to rebuild the default color tables. You can also choose a
device profile for your monitor or separations printer.
