Project Settings Dialog

The Project Settings dialog is described below with functions for how to access it. A list of the controls on the dialog box can be found in the table below.

What It Does

The Project Settings dialog box lets you change the colorspace options for your Mari project after project creation. These colorspace options are all presented in the New Project dialog when first setting up a project, however, you may wish to change it at a later stage. This dialog provides all the same options and makes the changes on a project-wide basis.
