Getting Consistent Color among Adobe Applications

If you have a complete Adobe workflow like I do, you’ll want to use the same Color Settings for all your Adobe applications. Illustrator, InDesign, and Acrobat share a similar Color Settings dialog box. They have a few minor differences, but nothing major. If an element doesn’t exist in one application’s Color Settings dialog box, Adobe merely plugs in the default setting. You can save your Color Settings in Photoshop by clicking the Save button in the Color Settings dialog box. To ensure that all your Adobe applications can access the settings file, save it to a default location:

-->For Microsoft Windows, the default location is the Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Color/Settings folder.
-->For Mac OS X users, the default folder is User/CurrentUser/Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Color/Settings.

Launch your other applications, open the Color Settings dialog box, and click the Load button. Navigate to the saved settings file and select it. You are all set for color consistency among applications.
