Hello,

A question about the Edit > Convert to Profile.

I have created 3 different custom CMYK profiles to enable me to print the same photo on different types of paper/presses. For some reason, I cannot get the profile to embed in the photoshop file. Whenever I open an image, it shows the last profile I used. How do I get it to embed?

Thanks!

Save your original RGB file.

Then, RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#1) > Save As… This creates your first CMYK file.

Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#2) > Save As… This creates your second CMYK file.

Then, back to original RGB file > Edit > Convert to Profile (with CMYK#3) > Save As… This creates your third CMYK file.

In all cases, be sure you have "Embed Color Profile" checked at the bottom of the Save As dialog. When naming a file, it’s handy to include some sort of indication as to the color space.

In the end, you have four files: 1 RGB file, 3 CMYK files.

check the box when you save it.

if’s not listed, then either your image isn’t in that profile, or perhaps you have a naming issue on the custom profile.
