You can create new workflows by selecting a template, or by creating a copy
of an existing workflow, such as the generic workflow. You can also edit and rename
workflows.
Command WorkStation provides the following default templates:
-
PRODUCTION—Provides access to settings that are
typically used in different production environments, but hides those settings that are specifically
aimed at a proofing environment.
-
PROOF—Provides access to settings that are typically used in different proofing
environments, but hides those settings that are specifically aimed at a production environment.
-
PHOTO—Provides access to settings that are typically used in different photo
environments.
-
CUSTOM—Provides access to the full range of licensed features.
Command WorkStation preselects source profiles, simulation (reference) profiles and rendering intents
for each default workflow. You can greatly improve color reproduction by selecting profiles and
rendering intents that are specific to your workflow (see Select profiles and rendering intents).
