Coloursettings for Adobe Creative Suite 3, 4 en 5

My friend Bart posted an article regarding European colorsettings for Adobe Creative Suite 3, 4 and 5. We both agree his settings are superior to the standard ‘Europe prepress 3’ settings Adobe delivers. I crosschecked with colorexpert Erik Koldenhof and he states the following: “If you select a full color profile for the grey, Photoshop will only load the information from the black channel of that profile. The main advantage is the Creative Suite will use the exact dot gain behavior as written in the profile to convert colors and CS5 will show you a slightly better simulation on your screen. Barts’ article was written in Dutch, but he did use an English screenshot of the Adobe Photoshop CS5 colorsettings. As always, create and save the settings in Photoshop and load the settings-file (.csf) in the Bridge to synchronize the entire Creative Suite. (These settings were created for standard ‘coated’ artwork. If you need to create artwork for newspaper, magazine or uncoated paper other settings are required).
