Convert to Profile
is a great way to ensure there are no surprises when
performing color space conversions because the preview shown will be
a very accurate indication of what the output should look like, assuming
accurate profiles for your display and output device. After accepting the
changes and clicking
OK
, the
Convert to Profile
command will alter all
the data in the document using both the source and destination profiles
chosen and will assign the correct destination profile to the document.
The document will be saved with the correct profile assigned and be
embedded in the document. The document will then preview correctly
without regard to other Color Settings (working spaces) because it is
based on an assigned profile.

management because our CMS has no idea what the true definition of
the numbers in the document are. For this tutorial, you will need to
install an ICC profile in your system. On the CD in the tutorial's /ICC_Pro-
files folder is an ICC profile called

, which is a
custom camera profile for the matching file you will be working with
(
Kodak_660_Linear.tif
). See Chapter 1, page 42 to find out where this
profile needs to be installed based upon your operating system.

embedded profile, the
Missing Profile
dialog
will be seen. Select the top
radio button
Leave as is
