*this point is particularly important when it comes to print services since, if the profile is not embedded, the majority of print services will assume that the file is sRGB. Where this causes problems is if your original file used a different colour space/profile than sRGB - resulting in washed out colours (Adobe > sRGB mismatch) or strange blue/green shifts (ProPhoto > sRGB mismatch) |
I am now very lost.
This is not something I've considered before but I have noticed in the past that some of my prints from Photobox appear slightly duller than what I thought I'd edited. I've just had a look at a recent image and when I looked at the 'Assign profile' box in CS2 the Profile was Adobe RGB (1998) but when I clicked on sRGB IEC61966-2.1 the colours appeared more muted. What should this be set to for printing - Adobe RGB or sRGB IEC61966-2.1? And how do I embed the profile as mentioned above?
