Saving and loading color management settings

When you create a custom color management configuration, you should name and save the configuration to ensure that it can be shared with other users and applications that support color management, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Acrobat. You can also load previously saved color management configurations into the Color Settings dialog box.

To save a custom color management configuration:

1. In the Color Settings dialog box, click Save.
2. Name your color settings file, and click Save.

To ensure that the saved configuration appears in the Settings menu of the Color Settings dialog box, save the file in one of the following recommended locations:

• (Windows) Program Files/Common Files/ Adobe/Color/Settings.
• (Mac OS) Users/user profile/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings. To ensure that all color-managed Adobe applications can take advantage of saved color setting files, you may want to save them to the system application support folder. Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings.
3. Enter any comments that you want to associate with the configuration, and click OK.

The comments that you enter will appear in the Description area of the Color Settings dialog box when the pointer is positioned over the configuration in the Settings menu.

To load a color management configuration:

1. In the Color Settings dialog box, click Load.
2. Locate and select the desired color settings file, and click Load.

When you load a custom color settings file, it appears as the active choice in the Settings menu of the Color Settings dialog box. If you load a settings file that has been saved outside the recommended location, it temporarily replaces the Other option in the Settings menu until another settings file is loaded.
