Hello guys,I recently reinstalled my CorelDraw and I lost the settings I had on my Color Management. Those settings where suggestions from you and I would like to ask if someone could again help me choose the proper settings for those options for Printing files.
Thanks!
Hi George
this is a link to David Millisock's Webinar on color management. He is the guru

Your settings should be set for what you do. I have 4 different set ups depending on the work Web, Print, Fabric, Paint.

Hello!I want to create two different set ups one for print and one for web. Thanks for the video but it's quite huge. I don't know if I have the patience to go through it, haha. :D
There's not a only one COlor Profile valid for all purposes. So, you will need to have some color profiles, each one according with the job
for RGB you can use sRGB or AdobeRGB,
ISOCoated v.2 is for coated papers, you will need other color profiles for other kind of paper. ie for heavy papers you can use ISOCoated v.2 300%, for common paper ISOCoated Yellowish, etc
Change Rendering Intent to "Perceptual"
"Preserve Pure black" is good if you work with RGB text (such as copy/paste text) but it's not good if you convert RGB images to CMYK, so it's more relativ to your workflow than a mandatory option.
Spot Definition is also relative to your workflow: is you want to convert Pantone colors to CMYK, choose CMYK for have the best convert values. If you want to see better on sreen only, choose Lab
I see you are in Greece. So the settings you show are close. Like Ariel says Different work different profiles.
Make sure you change rendering intent to PERCEPTUAL and if you are going to use Spot colours for printing FIrst make sure you have the correct pantone spot pallette chosen. There are several versions based on different books of colour If you don't have a pantone book I would use the pantone+ color bridge coated book.
Color Pallettes >more Pallettes > process> Spot> pantone there are 2 or 3 Euro Versions
Make sure you change your spot so=color setting to CMYK of it is for printing
Europe Web probably works.
That long tedious video is great and may help you never have a nasty surprise when nothing looks right in a job or you can't seem to get colour right.
I wish profiles and color management were this easy 25 years ago on my first MAC
A bottle of Retsina, Some Grappa, Only screen capture I do is Below OPA! Pass The Ouzo please
Watch the video
I surely understand that one color profile is not enough but it would be better if at least I had one Color profile settings for printing files instead of nothing. :/Thanks for the Detailed RGB!
