Managing colors when importing
and pasting files
If you use the default color policy for importing
and pasting files, the colors in files that you
import or paste are converted to the color
profile of the active document. If the color
profile of the imported or pasted file matches
the color profile of the active document, no
color conversion is performed.
By activating warning messages for missing
and mismatched profiles, you can access
additional options. For example, if a file
contains a mismatched color profile, you can
choose to ignore the embedded color profile
and assign the document color profile to
preserve color values. Alternatively, you can
convert document colors to the embedded
color profile of the imported or pasted file.
Note that this option preserves the appearance
and color values of the imported or pasted file
but changes the color values of the active
document.For more information, see “Managing colors
when importing and pasting files” in the Help.Corel PHOTO-PAINT displays this warning dialog box for a file that contains a mismatched color profile.Managing colors for print
By default, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite does
not perform color conversions when a
document is sent to the printer. The printer
receives the color values and interprets the
colors. However, if the operating system
includes a color profile that is associated with
the printer, this color profile is detected by
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite and used to
convert document colors to the color space of
the printer.If you have a PostScript® printer, any necessary
color conversion can be managed by either
CorelDRAW or this printer. When the
application manages the color conversion,
document colors are converted from the
assigned color space to the color space of the
PostScript printer. If you use this method, you
must disable color management in the printer
