Using Color Management in Creative Software
Ensure your creative applications are configured to use color profiles correctly. Popular software like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and CorelDRAW have dedicated color management settings.

Other Software
Check your software’s color management preferences and set the color profile to match your calibration. Consistent settings across applications help maintain color fidelity.
