Print layouts only: To specify how layouts display when you use the View > Proof Output submenu, use the options in the Soft Proofing area:

Perceptual scales all the colors in the source gamut so that they all fit within the destination gamut. Relative Colorimetric retains colors that are in both the source gamut and the destination gamut. The only source colors that are changed are those that are not within the destination gamut. Saturation considers the saturation of source colors and changes them to colors with the same relative saturation in the destination gamut. Absolute Colorimetric retains colors that are in both the source gamut and the destination gamut. Colors that are outside the destination gamut are adjusted in relation to how they would look when printed on white paper. Defined by Sources uses the rendering intents defined in source setup for all colors and images.

Print layouts only: In the Vector EPS/PDF Files area:

• To color manage vector content in imported EPS and PDF files, check Color Manage Vector EPS/PDF. Note that this preference applies only to EPS and PDF files imported after this box is checked.
• To color manage vector content in EPS and PDF files that have already been imported in the active project, check Include Existing Vector EPS/PDF in Layout.

Web layouts only: To specify an output profile for HTML export, choose an option from the HTML Export drop-down menu.
