If a document that you open is missing a color profile or contains color profiles that do not match the default color profiles of the application, Corel DESIGNER makes color-management choices based on the color management policy. If you are comfortable with color management, you can view warnings about missing and mismatched color profiles and choose different color management options. For more information about how to activate warnings, see To activate warning messages for missing and mismatched color profiles.
Opening documents with missing color profiles
• | Assign color profile — lets you assign a color profile to the document. This option preserves color values, but may change the appearance of colors. For example, if the RGB color profile is missing from the document, the default RGB color profile of the application is assigned by default. The RGB color values are preserved but the RGB colors may not appear as originally designed. You can also choose to assign a color profile that is different from the default color profile of the application. This option is recommended only if you know the original color space of the document and have the associated color profile installed. |
• | Convert to default color profile — Used in conjunction with the Assign color profile control, this option converts colors from the assigned color profile to the default color profile. Colors will appear as they would in the assigned color space, but the color values may change. |
Opening documents with mismatched color profiles
• | Use embedded color profile — This option ensures that the color values are preserved and colors are displayed as originally intended. |
• | Ignore embedded color profile, and use default color profile — Assigning the default color profile will preserve the color values but may change the appearance of colors. |
• | Convert from embedded color profile to default color profile — This option converts colors from the embedded color profile to the default color profile. The appearance of colors will be preserved, but the color values may change. This option is recommended if you have already set color management options suitable for your workflow. For example, you may be creating graphics for the web, and you may have chosen sRGB as the application default color space. Enabling this option ensures that the document uses the sRGB color space, and document colors are consistent and suitable for the web. |
