INDD (InDesign), JPEG, or TIFF.

Changing the color profile for a document
Thereare very fewsituationsthatrequireyou to change thecolor profilefor adocument. This is becauseyourappli-
cation automatically assigns the color profile based on the settings you select in the Color Settings dialog box. The
only times you should manually change a color profile are when preparing a document for a different output desti-
nation or correcting a policy behavior that you no longer want implemented in the document. Changing the profile
is recommended for advanced users only.
You can change the color profile for a document in the following ways:
• Assign a new profile. The color numbers in the document remain the same, but the new profile may dramatically
change the appearance of the colors as displayed on your monitor.
• Remove the profile so that the document in no longer color-managed.
• (Photoshop and InDesign) Convert the colors in the document to the color space of a different profile. The color
numbers are shifted in an effort to preserve the original color appearances.
