Hello All, the color settings on my mac and photoshop are different. I get this message when I drop in an imageI think that is why Im having trouble with the black in the photos-it turns glowing blue sometimes. I have the latest version of Adobe Cloud for an IOS version. Any help would be appreciated thank you ahead of time.

That warning is a remnant from old days when color management wasn't widely implemented. 

 

The embedded document profile should always override your working space. There is no reason they should match. This is how modern color management is intended to work.

 

Choose "use embedded profile", do not choose "do not color manage"!

 

That said, Color match RGB is an obsolete profile that isn't really used anywhere nowadays. Convert to a more standard profile like e.g. Adobe RGB.

    @andreaf23600721 totally agree with @D Fosse about this. He's right about 'Colormatch' too it's pretty dated, I imagine those are maybe old images.

    If you wish to send them out to anyone else or for printing externally then you may be better to convert (in Photoshop) to a "modern?" working space like sRGB or Adobe RGB. 

     

    I hope this helps
