Save a profile in Profile Editor

When you save an edited profile, you can specify the profile’s default rendering intent and its profile descriptor. You can also flatten the profile and either install it on a Fiery Server or save it to your local computer.

Note: By default, Profile Editor saves an edited profile with a new file name, preserving the original file.

The profile descriptor is the profile’s name that appears in an application. For example, a program that lets users select from a list of profiles displays the profile descriptors of the available profiles.

Flattening the profile simply removes extra data that only the Profile Editor uses. You can flatten a profile if you do not intend to edit it again. If you do not flatten a profile when you save it, Profile Editor stores the profile’s edit list inside a private tag. An unflattened profile is fully ICC-compatible and you can used it the same as a flattened profile.

Note: You cannot undo flattening. We recommend that you keep a copy of the unflattened profile.

Do one of the following:
- Type a new profile descriptor directly in the Name your profile field.
- Click Options, then type a new profile descriptor, or click an Edit Version icon () to change the edit version suffix.
- To add a new profile descriptor, click the Add icon (+) and double-click any field to type a new value.
Click a rendering intent in the Rendering intent list.
(Optional) Type additional information under Comments.
(Optional) Click Flatten Profile.
Do one of the following:
- To install the profile on a Fiery Server, click Install on Fiery Server and click the Fiery Server in the list.
- To save the profile locally, click Save on local drive.
Click Save.
Do one of the following:
- If you install the profile on a Fiery Server, specify the profile settings and click OK.
- If you save the profile locally, navigate to the location in which you want the profile saved, and click Save.
