Assign Profile allows you to tag an image with a specified profile or untag an image by removing it. No color numeric conversions are made; it simply applies an interpretation to the numbers in the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Edit menu<\/strong> > Assign Profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toggle on the Preview option. You will most likely see the colors shift on screen. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In the Assign Profile dialog box you will see three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Color Manage This Document<\/strong>
Removes the existing profile from the document. After you remove the profile from a document, the appearance of colors is defined by the application\u2019s working space profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working [color model: working space]<\/strong>
Assigns the working space profile to the document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profile<\/strong>
Selecting this option allows you to toggle between different color profiles. Adobe assigns the new profile to the document without actually converting colors to the profile space. This may dramatically change the appearance of the colors as displayed on your monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
