Using Mac OSX (Panther), Photoshop CS.
Don’t know why this suddenly started happening but I can’t seem to find a preference setting to turn it off.

When ever I go to open one of my PS file photos, I get an alert (yellow triangle with exclamation point in it). It says, "The RGB document "photo.jpg" does not have an embedded color photo." How do you want to proceed. There is no option to check that will disable this alert from showing again and I can’t seem to find anything in the preferences although I’m sure it is there somewhere.

I use to never get these messages but I did recently have to reinstall PS when I did a archive & install on my OS and that is when this started happening.

Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Ken

I suppose that is a common answer from the know-it-all arrogant PS users…….Do I detect yankeeism?

Your google search for help will return much better results if you quote the error message properly: "… does not have an embedded color *profile*," not "photo."

Ian Lyons, one of the web’s most respected color management gurus, has some excellent tutorials on the subject at his website:

Edit > Color Settings > find the ‘color management policies’ box and for ‘missing profiles’ uncheck the ‘ask when opening’ box.

While you’re there you might also want to uncheck the ‘profile mismatches’ box (or not, it’s up to you).

I assume you mean "does not have an embedded color PROFILE."

Edit->Color Settings. Uncheck (turn off) "Ask When Opening" if the image has no profile or if there is a profile mismatch.
