In Photoshop you can make best use of your custom color profiles by allowing Photoshop to handle color management. You can also choose to let your printer(s) manage color.
Creativity is everywhere. Now Photoshop is too. Small and medium-sized businesses rely on Adobe Photoshop — the world-class imaging and graphic design software that’s at the core of just about every creative project from photo editing and compositing to digital painting, animation, and graphic. Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular and comprehensive image editors for Windows PCs. The program comes with several features, including 3D designs, illustrations, retouches, fillers, etc. Compared to Paint 3D and MyPaint, it’s a much better choice for creative professionals.

To better understand color management concepts and workflows, see Understanding Color Management.
If you have a custom color profile for a specific printer, ink, and paper combination, letting Photoshop manage colors often produces better results than letting the printer manage colors.
- For Color Handling, choose Photoshop Manages Colors.
- For Printer Profile, select the profile that best matchesyour output device and paper type. If there are any profiles associatedwith the current printer, they are placed at the top of the menu,with the default profile selected.
The more accurately the profile describes the behavior of the output device and printing conditions (such as paper type), the more accurately the color management system can translate the numeric values of the actual colors in a document. (See Install a color profile.)
Specifies how Photoshop converts colors to the destination color space. (See About rendering intents.)
Preserves the shadow detail in the image by simulatingthe full dynamic range of the output device.
(Optional) Below the print preview, select any of the following:
Select to view image colors in the preview area as they will actually print.
Enabled when Match Print Colors is selected. Select to highlightout-of-gamut colors in the image, as determined by the selected printerprofile. A gamut is the range of colors that a color system candisplay or print. A color that can be displayed in RGB may be outof gamut for your current printer profile.
Sets the color white in the preview to the color of thepaper in the selected printer profile. This produces a more accurateprint preview if you're printing on off-white paper such as newsprintor art papers that are more beige than white. Since absolute whiteand black create contrast, less white in the paper will lower theoverall contrast of your image. Off-white paper can also changethe overall color cast of the image, so yellows printed on beigepaper may appear more brown.
Access the color management options for the printer driver from the Print Settings dialog box, which automatically appears after you click Print.
- In Windows, click the Print Settings button to access the printer driver options.
- In Mac OS, use the pop-up menu from the Print Settings dialog box to access the printer driver options.
- Turn off color management for the printer, so the printerprofile settings won’t override your profile settings.
Every printer driver has different color management options. If it’s not clear how to turn off color management, consult your printer documentation.
If you don’t have a custom profile for your printer and paper type, you can let the printer driver handle the color conversion.
Note:
The Document Profile entry shows the profile embedded in the image.
- For Color Handling, choose Printer Manages Colors.
(Optional) For Rendering Intent, specify how to convert colors to the destination color space. A summary of each option appears in the Description area at bottom.
Many non-PostScript printer drivers ignore this option and use the Perceptual rendering intent. (For more information, see About rendering intents.)

A hard proof (sometimes called a proof print or match print) is a printed simulation of your final output on a printing press. A hard proof is produced on an output device that’s less expensive than a printing press. Some inkjet printers have the resolution necessary to produce inexpensive prints that can be used as hard proofs.

Choose View > Proof Setup, and select the output conditions you want to simulate. You can do this using a preset or by creating a custom proof setup. See Soft-proof colors.
The view changes automatically according to the proof you choose. Choose Custom to create custom proof settings, which you must save so you can select them in the Proof Setup menu of the Print dialog box.
- For Color Handling, choose Photoshop Manages Colors.
- For Printer Profile, select the profile for your outputdevice.
From the menu above the Proof Setup menu or Rendering Intent menu, select Hard Proofing.
The Proofing Profile entry below should match the proof setup you selected earlier.
Choose any customized proofs that exist locally on your hard drive.
Simulates what colors look like on the paper of the simulateddevice. Using this option produces the most accurate proof, butit is not available for all profiles.
Simulates the brightness of dark colors for the simulated device.Using this option results in more accurate proofs of dark colors,but it is not available for all profiles.
