Exercise Overview
To take control of color management, we’ll tell Photoshop to alert us whenever there are mismatched or missing profiles. That way we can decide how to handle these issues.
Go to Edit > Color Settings.
From the Settings menu at the top, choose North America Prepress 2.
-
All the settings shown should already be set, but double-check them anyway.
-
Click OK, and you’re done.
REMINDER: The above settings are what we’re using for the rest of this class. Everyone’s workflow is different. While these settings may be correct for your work, we don’t want to say everyone must use them.
