Printing Guideline for Ricoh Color Products 2.01

6.2 Photoshop 5.0/5.5 for Windows and Macintosh

Adobe Photoshop allows you to work with ICC proÞ les and lets you choose, which

CMM (Color Management Module) to use for converting images. There is e.g. the

Photoshop built-in CMM or the CMM speciÞ ed by your operating system, such

as Apple ColorSync or Microsoft ICM 2.0. It is recommended to use the built-in

CMM, especially when working across Adobe programs. Photoshop 5.0 supports

embedding proÞ les.

Note: The proÞ le which will be embedded is the one chosen in the RGB Setup

or CMYK Setup, and not the one chosen in the proÞ le setup. When working

with the ProÞ le to ProÞ le command there is a risk of embedding the wrong

proÞ les. It is easier and safer to work without embedded proÞ les except

where necessary.

Depending on your requirements, Photoshop can handle the conversion of images in

several ways. This manual describes only some of these workß ows.

6.2.2 Converting from RGB to CMYK

This conversion is recommended if you don´t want to edit the image on your monitor.

Here, the image is directly converted from RGB color space (scanner proÞ le) to

CMYK color space.

Note: Ricoh printer proÞ les are CMYK proÞ les, except the ones for IPDL-C and

PCL drivers.

First, select the CMYK color model:

• Choose File > Color Settings > CMYK Setup...

• Select your Ricoh printer proÞ le from the list

• Click OK

Then, change the color system from RGB to CMYK:

• Choose Image > Mode > CMYK Color

• Print the image
