the image. We recommend using the color space that comes with the image (see Color

Each object in InDesign has its own color management. The InDesign elements (native) use the

objects have their own assigned profile and rendering intent. Then, each element is converted from
its own color space to the simulation color space, using its own rendering intent.
●Profile: select the profile that corresponds to the device you want to emulate (usually a
particular press profile or an standard...
