There are three methods by which your document’s colour can be
managed and adjusted:
1. Application Colour Management (1).
Some graphics and desktop publishing programs such as
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Quark Xpress
have their own built-in colour management systems. See
page 64.
Most applications do not have these colour management
features and rely instead on the printer or operating
system.
2. Operating System Colour Management (2).
Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP have Windows ICM Colour
Management.
Mac OS and Mac OS X have Apple ColorSync.
3. Printer Colour Management (3).
When you print your document and modify settings in the
printer driver, the printer performs colour adjustments.
