Corel Painter Help | Specifying the default RGB color profile

Specifying the default RGB color profile

To use color management in Corel Painter, you can start by specifying the default RGB color profile that you want to assign to all new documents.

The default settings in Corel Painter produce good color results, but you can change these default settings so that they suit your specific workflow. The Corel Painter default color profile is sRGB_IEC61966-2-1 black scaled. You can visit the International Color Consortium (ICC) website http://www.color.org/findprofile.xalter to find more information about this profile.

When you create images in another application, such as Adobe Photoshop, you should use the same default color profile that you will use when opening the file in Corel Painter. In addition, you should always embed the color profile when saving a document in Corel Painter or Adobe Photoshop, so that the document retains the color information. For more information, see Embedding color profiles when saving files.
