profiles are called “working space
profiles.”

•The primary color mode determines the
document color palette that is displayed
when you open or start a document as
well as the default color mode of a
document that is exported as a bitmap.
The primary color mode is set for all new
and untagged documents, but you can
change this setting for the active
document in the Document color
settings dialog box. Note that the primary
color mode does not limit colors in a
CorelDRAW document to a single color
mode. The Primary color mode control
is not available in Corel PHOTO-PAINT,
where images always contain colors in a
single color mode.


•The rendering intent lets you choose a
method for mapping out-of-gamut colors
in new and untagged documents. If the


default rendering intent is not suitable for
the active document, you can change it in
the Document color settings dialog
box.
•The color-conversion settings
determine how colors are matched when
you are converting colors from one color
profile to another. For example, you can
change the color engine or specify options
for converting pure black colors in RGB,
CMYK, Lab, or grayscale documents.
•The Spot color definition control lets
you display spot colors by using their Lab,
CMYK, or RGB color values. These
alternative color values are also used when
spot colors are converted to process
colors.


  • Color management policies manage
    colors in files that you open, or in files that
    you import or paste into an active
    document.


The Default color management settings dialog box in CorelDRAW lets you specify a wide range of settings.
