Adobe illustrator 10 Manuale Utente

Color management settings can be shared with other users and with other applications 
that use the Color Settings dialog box, such as Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and later. It’s 
important to save your custom configurations if you want to reuse and share them with 
other users who use the same color management workflows; for more information, 
see 

. The color 

management settings that you customize in the Color Settings dialog box have an 
associated preferences file called AI Color Settings, located in the same location as Adobe 
Illustrator preference file. (See 

.)

1 Choose Edit > Color Settings.

2 To use a preset color management configuration as the starting point for your customi-
zation, choose that configuration from the Settings menu.

3 Specify the desired color settings. (As you make adjustments, the Settings menu option 
changes to Custom by default.) Refer to the following sections for detailed customization 
instructions.

In a color-managed workflow, each color model must have a working space associated 
with it. At times you may want to customize the RGB or CMYK working space to reflect a 
workflow that uses a particular output or display device. For more information, see 

Illustrator ships with a standard set of color profiles that have been recommended and 
tested by Adobe Systems for most color management workflows. By default, only these 
profiles appear under the working space menus. To display additional color profiles that 
you have installed on your system, select Advanced Mode at the top of the Color Settings 
dialog box. To appear under a working space menu, a color profile must be bi-directional, 
that is, contain specifications for translating both into and out of color spaces. 
For information on installing color profiles, see 

.

For the RGB color model, the following standard working space options are available:

Adobe RGB (1998) Provides a fairly large gamut (range) of colors and is well-suited for 
documents that will be converted to CMYK. Use this space if you need to do print 
production work with a broad range of colors.

sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Reflects the characteristics of the average PC monitor. This standard 
space is endorsed by many hardware and software manufacturers, and is becoming the 
default color space for many scanners, low-end printers, and software applications. This 
space is recommended for Web work but not for prepress work (because of its limited 
color gamut).

Apple RGB Reflects the characteristics of the Apple Standard 13-inch monitor, and is 
used by a variety of desktop publishing applications, including Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and 
earlier. Use this space for files that you plan to display on Mac OS monitors, or for working 
with legacy (older) desktop publishing files.

ColorMatch RGB Matches the native color space of Radius Pressview monitors. 
This space provides a smaller gamut alternative to Adobe RGB (1998) for print 
production work.
