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.
