Reply To: Color appears different on screen but has same color profile

Thanks, David. I am in the middle of your Lynda.com tutorial right now – which prompted me to reach out to you about my issue.

I opened ID, clicked create new document, the document preset was set to Default, Intent was set to print. I then clicked color settings and switched from FOGRA to Newsprint. Then I created the new document and the color setting was already set to Newsprint when I checked the color setting. I didn’t use convert to profile or assign profile. As I am writing, I think I am figuring it out – for the first doc., I would need to use the Convert option to apply the Newsprint profile, since it was set to FOGRA at first. And that is why my new doc contains the newsprint profile – because I changed the color setting which only changes new docs, not the current one. Right?

So the brown I am seeing is how the 75% grey would look on newsprint?
