profile that is embedded in the imported

or pasted file.

The files that you are opening or importing
may be missing color profiles, or may contain
color profiles that do not match the default
color profiles. By default, the applications do
not warn you about missing or mismatched
color profiles but make color management
choices that produce good results. However,
you can activate warning messages in the
Color management policies area of the
Default color management settings dialog
box if you want to have full control over the
colors in your documents.

Managing colors when opening

documents

The default color-management policy for
opening documents preserves colors in all
tagged documents that you open and assigns

the default color profiles to untagged

documents.

If you activate warning messages for missing

and mismatched color profiles, you can choose

additional color management options. For

example, if a color profile is missing from a file,

you can assign a color profile that is different

from the default color profile of the

application. This option is recommended only

if you know the original color space of the

document and have the associated color

profile installed. In addition to assigning a

specific color profile, you can convert

document colors from the assigned color

profile to the default color profile. Colors will

appear as they would in the assigned color

space, but the color values may change.

For more information, see “Managing colors

when opening documents” in the Help.
