Profile Manager

Profile Manager allows you to manage and edit ICC profiles. In the case of the GA-1121, these profiles are divided into RGB Source, Simulation, and Output profiles:

•RGB Source contains all monitor profiles resident on the GA-1121. RGB Source profiles are used to define the source color space for RGB colors processed by the GA-1121.

NOTE: If you use Photoshop 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x, you can upload the profile for your selected working space to the GA-1121 and choose that as your RGB Source Profile. For more information, see the Fiery Color Reference.

•Simulation contains printer profiles used to simulate another device on the GA-1121.

•Output contains copier/printer profiles that describe the copier/printer. For more information on output profiles, see page 1-15.

NOTE: Changing the GA-1121 default profiles affects all jobs for all users. Consider limiting the number of people authorized to use ColorWise Pro Tools by setting an Administrator password.

The following profiles are provided with the GA-1121.

•RGB Source:

•Apple Standard—standard source color space for Mac OS computer monitors with older versions of ColorSync

•sRGB (PC)—source color space for a generic Windows computer monitor

•EFIRGB—preset default setting for a GA-1121

•Simulation:

•DIC—Japanese press standard

•Euroscale—European press standard

•SWOP-Coated—United States press standard
