1 In the Color Settings dialog box, under Color Management Policies, choose one of the 
following to set the default color management policy for each color model:

Off if you do not want to color-manage imported or opened color data.

Preserve Embedded Profiles if you anticipate working with a mix of color-managed and 

non-color-managed documents, or with documents that use different profiles within 
the same color model.

Convert to Working Space if you want to color-manage all documents using the current 

working spaces.

For detailed descriptions of the default behaviors associated with each policy option, 
see the table following this procedure.
