Customizing advanced color
management settings
When you select Advanced Mode at the top of
the Color Settings dialog box, you have the option
of further customizing settings used for color
management.
For detailed information on advanced color
management settings, see "Specifying a
color management engine," "Specifying a
rendering intent," "Using black-point compen-
sation," "Using dither," "Desaturating monitor
colors," and "Blending RGB colors" in online Help.
Saving and loading color
management settings
When you create a custom color management
configuration, you should name and save the
configuration to ensure that it can be shared with
other users and applications that use the Color
Settings dialog box, such as Adobe Illustrator 9.0.
You can also load previously saved color
management configurations into the Color
Settings dialog box.
To save a custom color management configuration:
1 In the Color Settings dialog box, click Save.
Name your color settings file, and click Save.

To ensure that the saved configuration appears in
the Settings menu of the Color Settings dialog box,
save the file in one of the following recommended
locations:
(Windows) Program Files/Common Files/
•
Adobe/Color/Settings.
(Mac OS) System Folder/Application Support/
•
Adobe/Color/Settings.
Enter any comments that you want to associate

with the configuration, and click OK.
The comments that you enter will appear in the
Description area of the Color Settings dialog box
when the pointer is positioned over the configu-
ration in the Settings menu.
To load a color management configuration:
In the Color Settings dialog box, click Load.

2 Locate and select the desired color settings file,
and click Load.
When you load a custom color settings file, it
appears as the active choice in the Settings menu
of the Color Settings dialog box. If you load a
settings file that has been saved outside the
recommended location, it temporarily replaces the
Other option in the Settings menu until another
settings file is loaded.
