overall color appearance is preserved by
changing all the colors, including the in-
gamut colors, to fit within the range of
colors at the destination. This rendering
intent maintains the relationships between
colors to produce the best results.

more concentrated solid colors in business
graphics, such as charts and graphs.
Colors may be less accurate than those
produced by other rendering intents.

Color management settings in
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 has two types
of color management settings: default settings
for color management and document color
settings. The default settings for color
management control the colors of new
documents and any documents that do not
contain color profiles (also known as
“untagged documents”). Documents that
were created in earlier versions of
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite are treated as
untagged. Document color settings affect only
the colors of the active document.Default settings for color management
The default settings for color management are
essential for producing consistent colors.To access the default settings, click Tools `
Color management ` Default settings.Point to a control to view its description, or
click the Help button in the dialog box to
find a relevant Help topic.You can modify the default settings to suit your
particular needs for color management.- Presets can help ensure that your color

or for the location of their final output.
Examples are the North America

projects to be printed by North American
print service providers, and the Europe

projects that are created in Europe. For
