Managing colors for online viewing

Managing colors for online viewing can be even more complex than managing colors for print. Documents and images on the web are displayed on a great variety of monitors, which are often uncalibrated. In addition, most web browsers do not support color management and ignore the color profiles that are embedded in files.

When you design documents for exclusive web use, it is recommended that you use the sRGB color profile as your document RGB color profile and choose RGB colors. If a document contains a different color profile, you should convert document colors to sRGB before saving the document for use on the web.

When you create a PDF file for online viewing, you can embed color profiles in the file to reproduce colors consistently in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. For more information, see To specify color management options for exporting PDF files.

When you start a new document that is destined for online viewing, you can choose a preset that can help you achieve good color results. In addition, Corel PHOTO-PAINT offers color management presets for web documents. For information about how to choose a color management preset, see To choose a color management preset for new documents.
