Tune not available in the Properties & Actions Bar

Tune not available in the Properties & Actions Bar

Problem/Question
The Properties & Actions Bar on the right side of the JobComposer does not show the “Tune” Option anymore.
“Why cannot select the Tune Option?"

Tune is a function that is not compatible with Postscript/PDF color management and is therefore hidden in the menu.

Solution/Work-Around
To activate the Tune function perform the following steps:
  1. Go to "Tools" > "Application Defaults" in JobComposer (top menu)
  2. Select "PostScript/PDF Parameters"
  3. Change the "Interpreter for PDF Rendering" from "Default" to "Legacy"
  4. Click <OK>
  5. New import the file
  6. Select "Color Management PS/EPS" in the "Properties & Actions Bar"
  7. In the "PS/EPS Color Management Preset" drop down menu switch to "--Custom Setting--"
  8. Click on the <Edit> Button
  9. Deselect "Use Postscript/EPS Interpreter Color Management"
  10. Click <OK>
  11. Click <Apply>
Attention! Changes to the interpreter for PDFs should be taken into consideration, as they can affect the output!
