The following table provides a summary of the policy decisions you may be prompted to
consider when opening or importing mismatched color data:
The predefined color management workflows are set to display warning or option
messages when a default color management policy is about to be implemented.
Although you can disable the repeated display of some of the messages, it is highly
recommended that you continue to display all policy messages, to ensure the appropriate
color management of documents on a case-by-case basis. You should only turn off
message displays if you are very confident that you understand the default policy decision
and are willing to accept it for all documents that you open. You cannot undo the results
of a default policy decision once a document has been saved.
To turn off the display of a policy message:
In the message dialog box, select the Don’t Show Again option if it is available.
To reset the display of policy messages that have been disabled:
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator >
Preferences > General (Mac OS X).
2 Click Reset All Warning Dialogs, and click OK.
Customizing color management settings
Although the predefined settings should provide sufficient color management for most
publishing workflows, you may sometimes want to customize individual options in a
configuration. For example, you might want to change the CMYK working space to a
profile that matches the proofing system used by your service bureau.
