Synchronizing color settings across Adobe Creative Suite 2 components
You can use Adobe Bridge to synchronize color settings across all Adobe Creative Suite 2 components. Each Adobe Creative Suite component’s own Color Settings dialog box indicates when its color settings are out of sync with the rest of Adobe Creative Suite 2. When this happens, you can easily synchronize Adobe Creative Suite 2 again in Adobe Bridge.
You can create color settings that are customized for your workflow. If you do this, use an appropriate settings file as a starting point (if you operate jobs in North America, you might start with the North American Prepress 2 settings). All color settings are saved as files that you can distribute throughout your shop and provide to customers. Once your customers have your color settings file, they can synchronize all of their Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications using your settings.
To synchronize the color settings of all Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications:
1 Open Adobe Bridge. Note that you can open Adobe Bridge from an icon on the InDesign CS2
Control Palette.
2 Choose Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings.
3 If you want to use color settings that are available for geographical regions other than your own, select Show Expanded List of Color Settings Files.
4 Select the color settings you want to use. Adobe Bridge applies your selection to all
Adobe Creative Suite 2 applications.
To create a customized Color Settings file:
1 Start Adobe InDesign.
2 Choose Edit > Color Settings.
3 Change the color settings as needed for your workflow.
4 Click Save.
5 Name the file, and click Save.
To locate a Color Settings file and make it available for sharing:
1 Open Adobe Bridge.
2 Choose Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings.
