Converting color profiles can be done in 3 steps with Adobe InDesign. The top reason is usually when setting up a document to be printed by a print press.

Note:
Always consult with print companies regarding printer profiles, some may provide custom color profiles for you to use.

Selecting a color profile gives the designer almost full control of what the output of a project will look like. Images should be converted using Adobe Photoshop prior to importing.

The first step is choosing edit then convert to profile.

The next step is putting a check in the box to show the preview (if not already).

Next grab the RGB or CMYK drop down menu and select your desired color profile. Adobe RGB (1998) is a great RGB profile to design in as is U.S. Web Coated (Swop) v2 for CMYK.

Once that is done click ok to finish.

Note:
Depending on what color profile was chosen a shift in color may occur.
