Application settings
1. Open Adobe InDesign and select Color Settings from the Edit menu.
● Working spaces: the working space is the color space you want to use when manipulating
the image. We recommend using the color space that comes with the image (see Color
Management Policies below), if any; otherwise, our recommended default settings are: RGB:
Adobe RGB 1998, CMYK: SWOP for the USA and Euroscale Coated v2 for the rest of the
world.
● Color Management Policies: select 'Preserve Embedded Profiles'.
● Rendering Intent: see Set the rendering intent on page 69 .
● Black Point Compensation: this option is recommended if you have chosen the Relative
Colorimetric rendering intent. See
Perform black point compensation on page 68 .
2. Create or open the image with its own or the most appropriate color space. Then retouch the image
as needed.
3. When you have the image ready to send to the output device, that is the moment to simulate on
your printer what will appear on the output device. You must convert the image from the source or
work profile to the output CMYK device, and then again from the output CMYK device to the printer
profile (calibrated).
In InDesign we recommend the Proof Setup command (View > Proof Setup -> Custom). This
command lets you select the "proof profile" in the source space when printing. You can also see a
simulation on your monitor. We recommend as follows:
