# Color management

Pixelmator supports Apple ColorSync technology to maintain a consistent color among devices. You can choose a ColorSync profile for an image so that its colors are matched to your device, or you can change your image so that it matches a specific ColorSync profile.

To open the Color Management sheet, do one of the following:

- Choose Image ‣ Color Management
- Press Shift ⇧ + Command ⌘ + K

There are four options to assign a new profile:

None

No color management for the image will be used. No color profile will be assigned. This option is not recommended.

Universal

This is best for print, display, and sharing. The Generic RGB profile will be assigned.

Web

This is best for Web images. The sRGB profile will be assigned. This is recommended for to use with the Convert pixels to selected profile option.

Advanced

You can choose and assign all ColorSync RGB profiles installed on your Mac. This is mostly used for advanced color management.

Using only those options means that the image saved in the file is not modified; only the ColorSync profile for the image is changed.

Use Convert pixels to selected profile to change your image so it matches a specific ColorSync profile. The selected profile will still be assigned.
