Hi,
I have a number of photos on my system with different ICC profiles. My default working space is RGB 1998.
Today, I went to insert one Adobe RGB 1998 photo (.psd) with the Move tool into another .psd photo with a ECI-RGB.icc profile. Before doing this, PSE advised a Paste Profile Mismatch. I advised that I was OK about converting colors to a destination with a color profile that does not match my current working space. It worked OK but should I be concerned about this as I have so many image profiles?
All of my images are destined for print purposes in InDesign. I intend to use Richard Lynch’s plug-ins for RGB / CMYK conversion as well as a host of other uses not ordunarily found in PSE as provided by his book ‘The Hidden Power of PSE2’. However, I am concerned about the Edit>Color Settings>Optimize for Print setting, which I have ticked as I am not sure if this remains valid if I delete my Photoshop Elements Prefs file. What is the position here?
Finally, I did try to import an ECI-RGB.icc image into InDesign and got a CannotParse Error. This situation does not apply when I use other images with a similar profile. Should I be converting all of my images to RGB 1998 profile and, if so, how do you do this?
If this is the case, should I do the RGB / CMYK conversion after this step?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Phil
