Question

Embedded profile mismatch for multiple RAW

Hello, I am new to Photoshop CC and this is not clear to me: When I convert one RAW to JPEG, it gives me a notification about the embedded profile mismatch, but when I am converting more RAW at once the question is not asked. Should I assume that there is automatically set up what it offers me first when converting one photo? I usually choose the first option (use embedded profile), but the automatically marked is the last one (discard the embedded profile). Thank you very much for your advice.

RAW file are not color images they have no color profile.  You chose what color profile Your Raw converter should convert to and what file type and if you choose convert to jpeg you also choosing 8 bit color.  IMO Jpeg is not a good choice to convert if you will be editing your images.  If you do not plane on editing your pictures why shoot RAW.

    Thank you JJMack, so it´s only affecting final JPEG correct? I am not sure if I follow your second part of your answer - I am shooting RAW so I can edit the RAW and after that save it to my final format that I am not planning to edit further, is there something I am missing?

    It's just a warning that the embedded profile is different to your Photoshop default. You can safely turn it off in Color Settings as long as you have the policies set to Preserve Embedded Profiles

    Thank you very much for your reply Dave! My settings looks different in many things, so if I change it to this one I shouldn´t get the notification any more. Anyway, I shouldn´t be worried about converted JPG color profile for those already edited and save as well?
