Configure DAM Support for an Adobe ICC Profile - Precisely_EnterWorks - EnterWorks - 11.0

For DAM to be able to use an Adobe ICC profile, the profile must be first be installed and DAM must be configured to support it. Then, if a variant defined in the DAMVariants or DAMVariantSizes repositories specifies a DPI setting of 300, the Adobe ICC profile will be used to generate that variant.

Configuring DAM requires that DAM services and utilities are stopped and that assets must not be placed into the DAMDrop folder or uploaded while the configuration changes are being made. Therefore it is suggested that you configure DAM during non-work hours.
