Using ColorSync with JPEG images (Mac OS)

GoLive supports ColorSync™ color matching technology from Apple Computer. ColorSync reconciles the color spaces of JPEG images and computer monitors, assuring reproducible colors on different output devices. Using ColorSync, JPEG images are displayed using ICC-compatible color profiles that are either embedded in the image itself or included as stand-alone files.

To choose ColorSync options:

1. For images, do one of the following:
• To set options for a single JPEG image, select the image in the document window. In the Image Inspector, click the Link tab.
• To set options for all JPEG images within the current document, click the Page icon  in the upper left corner of the document window. In the Page Inspector, click the ColorSync tab.
2. For profiles, do one of the following in the Image Inspector or Page Inspector:
• Click Default to use a standard RGB profile built into GoLive for the current image.
• Click Profile and specify a file for the desired profile.

Note: References to external color profiles are not monitored by the GoLive built-in link parser. After uploading your site to your IS's FTP server, check that the stand-alone ICC color profile has been included in the upload.

• Click None to deactivate ColorSync support for a selected image.

The Embedded text box displays the name of an embedded color profile in a selected JPEG image. Embedding color profiles in JPEG images is a feature supported by the most recent versions of popular imaging applications, such as Adobe Photoshop.

Note: Currently, embedded color profiles in JPEG images are only supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.01 and later.

To set ColorSync preferences:

1. Choose Edit > Preferences.
2. Click the ColorSync icon in the left panel of the Preferences dialog box.
3. Select any of the following options:
• Display Images with ColorSync to activate ColorSync support in GoLive.
• Use Default RGB Profile if Not Specified to use a built-in default color profile when ColorSync is activated but no profile is specified for an image.
4. Click OK.
