This ensures you can work in full color fidelity in Creative Cloud applications. To enable bit color, you need to open the GPU control panel on your computer which is installed when you install your GPU drivers. Your GPU may have the option but in a different place.

On macOS, this extra step is not necessary as macOS automatically switches to bits per channel if the monitor identifies itself as bit.

Open Performance preferences, then click on the Advanced Settings button. At the bottom of the dialog that appears, choose 30 Bit Monitor, then click OK twice to close the preferences. Currently, there are two different types of color management in Creative Cloud; while they both have similar goals, the approach and configuration are different.

These applications use a unified color engine that provides a display color gamut and a separate working color gamut for each file. This provides the maximum level of flexibility as it allows you to run the monitors in wide gamut and then use a different gamut for a given file.

For web production, you should select sRGB, as shown in the following illustration from Adobe Illustrator:. Adobe Photoshop goes one step further. Whereas Illustrator and InDesign automatically use the Working Space profile when you create a new document, Photoshop allows you to specify the color profile of the document when you create them.

This is under Advanced Options, which are not exposed by default. Simply click the arrow next to the name to reveal the settings. This option is especially useful for photographers because it allows them to work on their photos using a wide gamut profile, like ProPhoto RGB or Image P3.

Then they can convert the file to a smaller gamut, such as sRGB, for images they are posting online by creating another file with the sRGB profile by pasting the image into the new file. They can maintain the full fidelity file while also creating a version for web.

Now, you can optimize Creative Cloud for the all-new line up of factory color calibrated Z Displays. Introducing our reimagined and refined Z Displays, our ultra-crisp displays are meticulously crafted for percent color confidence.
