InDesign CS2 uses the embedded proﬁles of placed RGB content. If the placed RGB

content does not have an embedded proﬁle, InDesign CS2 uses the document's proﬁle.

Colors created in Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 match the color you see in

InDesign CS2.

Using the safe CMYK mode, all CMYK content uses the document CMYK proﬁle. RGB content uses the

document RGB proﬁle except for placed RGB content with embedded proﬁles.

When saving a ﬁle, InDesign CS2 embeds the document RGB and CMYK color proﬁles

and the Preserve Numbers (Ignore Linked) CMYK policy in the InDesign document.

That way, any Adobe Creative Suite 2 component has the color data needed for anyone

to view the colors as intended.

To save an InDesign ﬁle, choose File > Save.

Previewing more accurate blacks (Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2)

The improved black preview feature in Adobe Creative Suite 2 lets you choose how to

view and print black objects in Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2. While you can still

view 100% K objects as a dark, rich black (the default for earlier versions of InDesign

and Illustrator when Color Management was turned oﬀ), you can now choose to view

black objects more accurately, seeing the diﬀerence between 100% K and rich black.

Note: You can still see the diﬀerence between 100% K black and a rich black in

Photoshop CS2. However, to see the diﬀerence in all three applications, you'll need to

change the default setting as described below.

To preview blacks more accurately in Illustrator CS2:

1. Choose Illustrator > Preferences.

2. Select Appearance of Black from the pop-up menu.

3. Select Display All Blacks Accurately from the On Screen menu.

Note: Display All Blacks Accurately displays the diﬀerence between a 100% K and a rich

black on-screen. If you select Consistent Blacks, both blacks appear the same.
