Color Management settings
Where: Channel | Color Management
Color Factory uses ICC profiles for Color Management. On the Color Management sheet you will find
settings that let you individually tune the way B/W, RGB, LAB and CMYK images are handled. Note
that the color profiles listed in the drop-down lists on the color management settings tabs are the ones
located in the windows\system32\color folder. In order to use other profiles than the ones listed here, you
may have to use the browse button to manually select a profile.
Processing of grayscale input images
Where: Channel | Color Management | Grayscale tab
Here you can configure the way Color Factory should handle incoming grayscale images. By default,
grayscale images are processed without involving Color Management settings. However, you may
choose the desired processing in the drop down list. By enabling conversion with color management,
you may choose an input and output ICC profile. (Conversion to Lab disables the choice of output
profile.) Below the input profile selection list you will find a checkbox allowing you to ignore any ICC
profile already embedded in the input file. If checked, the input profile selected from the list will always
be applied. Left unchecked, any input file with an embedded ICC profile will be processed using that
profile.
Similarly, under Output Profile, you may tick Embed profile in output file, allowing other systems in
the workflow to process the images using the same color profile.
When converting to grayscale using Color Management, you have the possibility to adjust endpoints by
clicking the Endpoint adjustment button. This way, you can increase or decrease the intensity of light
and dark areas in the images.
