The default is set to “Relative Colormetric,” which is usually recommended. In Illustrator, you’ll need to click the More Options button to see rendering intents. In InDesign, the option is at the bottom of the window. In Photoshop, the intent option is on the righthand side of the Color Settings window.

Rendering intents tell the software what to do with a color in the file that lands outside a device’s color gamut. The Adobe products allow you to select a rendering intent in your color management settings. You can also check the boxes for “Ask When Opening” so that each time you open or import a file you can choose whether to preserve the embedded profile on a case by case basis. If working with a client’s provided file, it’s generally recommended to honor or preserve the embedded profiles. Overall, color management is about variables and deciding which ones to choose.
While it’s recommended to use the working spaces that allow for a larger color gamut, changing the setting might not produce the file in a way the client expected. When a client submits a file to a print facility, it’s important to understand that they might have created the file in the default working spaces of sRGB or U.S. Many in the print industry deal with client provided files not just files that originate at their facility. There are arguments for both sides for this setting. To Honor Or Not: The Question Of Embedded ProfilesĪnother color management setting to consider is whether or not to preserve (honor) embedded profiles. For instance, if you compared the default RGB working space of sRGB to Adobe RGB 1998, you can clearly see that the gamut of Adobe RGB 1998 is larger. For a visual assessment, you can use a profile viewer to compare gamuts. These working space choices give you a bigger color gamut. Color management professionals usually recommend changing the RGB working space to Adobe RGB 1998 and the CMYK working space to Coated GRACol 2006 (ISO 12647-2:2004). To set yourself up for success, you want to start out with an RGB and CMYK working space in the Adobe software products that have larger color gamuts. Every device has a different gamut and colors that are outside its gamut and can’t be captured or reproduced.
