Creating graphics in Illustrator CS2
When creating a new graphic in Illustrator CS2, choose RGB as the color space.
Any RGB graphics created in Illustrator CS2 will use sRGB as the color space. Since
both Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2 use the same color settings, colors in your
Illustrator graphics will match the colors in your Photoshop digital images. Also, when
the Illustrator CS2 and Photoshop CS2 sRGB artwork is viewed on the Internet, the
colors appear consistent and are more likely to be seen as you intended.
Viewing and editing your artwork in Photoshop CS2 and
Illustrator CS2
If you open a digital file in Photoshop CS2 or Illustrator CS2 that contains an embedded
profile that is not sRGB, the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box appears asking you
whether you want to convert the document's colors to the working space. Click OK.
For more information about Adobe Creative Suite 2 profile mismatch dialog boxes, see
"Chapter 6: Advanced Topics."
Saving your artwork with embedded profiles
After editing in Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2 for good overall color, save the
image using the sRGB profile so another user will be able to understand how the file
was originally created and what the color appearance was meant to be.
To save your artwork with an embedded profile:
1. Choose File > Save.
2. Select Embed Color Profile if you are using one of the following formats:
• (Photoshop) .tif, .psd, .pdf, .eps, and .jpeg
• (Illustrator) .ai and .pdf
When saving images for future use, make sure you select Embed Color Profile.
