Saving - sRGB ICC Checked by Default?

Could have sworn on my previous machine or in previous Photoshop versions I had saving PSDs and images defaulted to embed color profile: sRGB. Now I have to manually check that box every single time I save a file and it's annoying. How do I make that checked by default? Thanks!

If you create documents from scratch, what do you have selected as a color profile and what are your Color Settings? That top setting won't assign sRGB and Save As or Save will respect that by keeping the sRGB box unchecked. "Preserve Embedded Profiles" respects the document's profile even is there is none or you will have unexplained color shifts. It waits for you to assign the pprofile.

I use these settings. They respect the source document profile. If there is none the profile box won't be checked. If you assign sRGB it will be checked.

I think this might be the clue. I'm on new machine with new Photoshop install. Just saw when I create a new doc the "Don't color manage" was selected. If I change to sRGB then that box is checked when I go to save.

Great! I suspected the New File dialog was set to not tag the file as sRGB, although I never saw that before.

Photoshop will never tag an untagged file without your consent.

I do not believe there is a convert to srgb option saving PSD files like save for web has was saving web image files. So it will depend on how your Photoshop Color settings are set to open files. Most likely your color setting will open images in the color space the are in not to convert them into your default sRGB color space. These images will aslo be saved in the color space they were opened in.
