Display P3 Embedded Color Profile

Question

I'm using Windows 11, latest updates.

Since Photoshop 26.11, I'm getting an embedded color profile mis-match opening an image (raw or dng) from ACR into Photoshop. The color workspace is set to ProFoto RGB in LRC and Phototshop. This happens when I load an image from Bridge into ACR.

When opening the image from ACR into Photoshop I it claims that the embedded color workspace is "Display P3", which I believe is some sort of Apple thing. This isn't just with recent images - any raw or dng file from say five years ago.

Very annoying, and needless converting of color workspace is not desirable. Anybody have any idea what's going on?

Thanks,

JW

The message itself doesn't matter, it doesn't tell you anything useful. They don't need to match, that's the whole point of color management. Just turn it off in Color Settings.

And yes, Display P3 is sort of an Apple thing. It's rapidly becoming ubiquitous in the Apple community, but actually, it's a display profile, not a document profile. But that distinction seems to have been lost somewhere along the way.

I'd recommend you don't use it. Change it to Adobe RGB, ProPhoto or sRGB (whichever you choose) in the ACR Workflow Settings (and in LrC preferences if you use that).

Thank you so much for pointing to the ACR setting. I thought I looked at every setting in every app 10 times, but I sure didn't see it. Switched to ProPhoto and everything's good:-)
