ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS2 

Color profiles are  often installed  when  a device is added to your system.  The accuracy  of  these profiles (often called  
generic profiles or canned profiles) varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You can also obtain device profiles 
from your service provider, download profiles from the web, or create custom profiles using professional profiling 
equipment. 

In Windows, right-click a profile and select Install Profile. Alternatively, copy the profiles into the 
WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color folder (Windows XP) or the WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\color 
folder (Windows 2000). 

In Mac OS, copy profiles into the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended folder. You 
can also copy profiles into the /Users/username/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder. 

After installing color profiles, be sure to restart Adobe applications. 

In order to embed a color profile in a document you created in Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, you must save or 
export the document in a format that supports ICC profiles. 

Save or export the document in one of the following file formats: Adobe PDF, PSD (Photoshop), AI (Illustrator), 

INDD (InDesign), JPEG, or TIFF. 

Select the option for embedding ICC profiles. The exact name and location of this option varies between applica­

tions. Search Help in the relevant CS2 application for additional instructions. 

There are  very  few situations that require you  to  change  the color  profile for  a document.  This  is  because your appli­
cation automatically assigns the color profile based on the settings you select in the Color Settings dialog box. The 
only times you should manually change a color profile are when preparing a document for a different output desti­
nation or correcting a policy behavior that you no longer want implemented in the document. Changing the profile 
is recommended for advanced users only. 

You can change the color profile for a document in the following ways: 

Assign  a new  profile.  The color  numbers in the  document  remain  the same,  but the  new profile  may dramatically  
change the appearance of the colors as displayed on your monitor. 

Remove the profile so that the document in no longer color-managed. 

(Photoshop and InDesign) Convert the colors in the document to the color space of a different profile. The color 
numbers are shifted in an effort to preserve the original color appearances.
