Sharing source and output setups

Source setups and output setups are portable, so color experts can easily distribute them to users and workgroups. Source setups can be appended from other projects and output setups can be exported as individual files and saved in output styles. Both types of setups, source and output, can be shared through inclusion in Job Jackets. Before distributing setups to a workgroup or to clients, be sure to test the setups with typical jobs.

  • To share setups, append setups, export setups, or import setups, choose Edit > Color Setups and modify the corresponding setting.
  • To incorporate setups into Job Jackets and specify the source and output setups used in a Job Jackets structure or Job Ticket, click the Advanced Settings button in the Job Jacket Manager dialog box (Utilities menu), select a project that contains source or output setups in the list on the left, and then drag the source or output setups to the target Job Jackets structure or Job Ticket. You can also choose an output style that includes specific output setups.
  • To use a custom output setup for printing or other types of output, choose that output setup from the Setup drop-down menu in the Color pane of the Output Styles dialog box (Edit > Output Styles > New/Edit).
