Color Management for Photographers
Go back into the Color Settings once again. This time set the policy for RGB documents to Convert To Working RGB and click OK. You might note that the U.S. Prepress Defaults (North America Prepress 2 in Photoshop CS2) heading we saw in the Settings pop-up menu earlier is now replaced with Custom. Anytime a user alters a fixed setting this happens since the Color Settings are no longer matching the original and saved setting.
1. If the Dog_in_Bowl.tif document is open, you can close it. Now reopen this document again. Photoshop’s File-Open Recent menu is a useful way to recall frequently opened documents. Once more, the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog appears. Notice however that in Fig. 9-5-4, the radio button is now set on Convert document’s colors to the working space. The reason the radio button defaulted to this item is due to the policy being set to Convert to Working RGB.
2. Simply click OK. You may see a progress dialog box that says Converting Colors, depending on how fast your machine runs. What is happening here is the document is being converted from sRGB to Adobe RGB (1998).
3. When the document opens, notice that the Document Profile indicator shows that the document is in Adobe RGB (1998), proving that a conversion did take place. All the data in this document has been changed on-the-fly when the document was opened.
