ColorSync defaults
You should have ColorSync 2.5.x or later installed on your Mac OS
computer. The ICC profiles used by ColorSync are saved in System
Folder:ColorSync Profiles. From the Apple menu, choose Control
Panel>ColorSync.
Use the following settings:
• System Profile—choose the customized ICC profile for your monitor. You
need to set up the Adobe Gamma profile to ensure that your monitor’s
profile is already present (Mac OS only).
• RGB default—choose the same RGB working color space that you set in
Photoshop 5.x.
NOTE: The System Profile is the same one used in your monitor calibration
and in your Monitors and Sounds control panel.
• CMYK default—choose the same CMYK color space that you set in
Photoshop 5.x.
• Preferred CMM—choose LinoColor CMM (both ColorSync 2.0 and
Microsoft ICM 2.0 are based on this color management module).
Defining colors
You can choose colors in Photoshop with various color models including
HSB, CIE Lab, RGB, and CMYK. You can also choose named colors from
the PANTONE Coated color library. For best results, use the color definition
methods described in Chapter 5.
