which may produce less-vivid colors when printing to a wide-gamut
device.
•Photoshop Manages Colors: When this option is selected, you can
choose a target printer prole and a rendering intent. e ideal target
prole is a custom prole built for your device, but if you don’t have a
custom prole, choose the canned prole that matches your device
and media. (ese proles are oen installed when the printer driver
is installed, but you may have to obtain them from the vendor.) It’s
very important to avoid “double color management” when using this
option; make sure that you turn o any color compensation at the
printer (address this in the print driver dialog box, which appears when
you click the Print Seings buon in the Print dialog box). If eshtones
print with a heavy red cast, this is a sign that both Photoshop and the
printer are performing color management; disable it at the printer to
allow only Photoshop’s color management to aect output. Consult
your printer documentation for specics.
With many newer printer drivers, when Photoshop manages colors, the drivers will
set the defaults within the driver seings accordingly, for optimum output. ere
are three options underneath the Preview window that are only available when
“Photoshop Manages Colors” is selected:
• Match Print Colors: Changes the image colors in the Preview
area to match the output with current seings.
• Gamut Warning: (Enabled when Match Print Colors is selected)
highlights out-of-gamut colors in the preview, based on the
selected printer prole.
• Show Paper White: Select for more accurate print preview when
you’re printing on o-white paper (such as fancy stock or news-
print)
•Separations: To print a separate sheet of media for cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black plates as well as any spot color component (such as
spot colors in duotone images), choose Separations, and turn o color
management at the printer. Photoshop displays an alert underneath
the Color Handling pop-up menu, asking “Did you disable color
management in the printer dialog box?” (Separations are not available
for RGB or grayscale images, but are available for CMYK and multi-
channel images.)
•NOTE: e “No Color Management” option has been removed in
Photoshop CS5 and CS5 Extended.
