This opens the Edit Quick Set dialog (Figure 2). Click the Change Profiles button. This opens the ICC Profile Setup dialog. Click the Profiles tab. You can set the profile for the following options by clicking the drop-down arrow and selecting the profile you want to use. Depending on your image type, some options may not be available. CMYK Image CMYK Vector RGB Image RGB Vector Custom Image Proof You can also select the Use Embedded Profile When Available option. This option overrides any profile selections and uses the embedded profile. Since an embedded profile is a profile built specifically for that image, using this option ensures the most accurate color. Pure Hues You can access the ICC Pure Hues dialog (Figure 2) by clicking the Color button (the button with nine colored squares) next to each profile option. Pure Hues applies the selected profile to all colors except those colors with a check next to them. NOTE: Pure Hues options only affect colors that are 100% of that specific color. For example, using Pure Hues with 100% yellow will preserve any pure yellow in your image. However, a color made up of yellow, cyan, and black will not be affected by the Pure Hues options.
