Configure workflows

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).
