The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. The profile will be igno

Question

So, I’ve recently encountered the following problem: Whenever I try to open a RAW photo—whether from the Sony 7CII or an Olympus OMD-5 Mark II—I get this message:

"The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile is invalid. The profile will be ignored."

In the meantime, I’ve updated my MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip to the latest operating system. Photoshop is also up to date, as well as the RAW Converter. After the updates, everything worked fine at first.

However, I then switched to HDR mode in the RAW development process (within Photoshop's RAW module). After turning HDR off again, I attempted to open the image in Photoshop, and now I’m getting the same error message again.

What could be causing this?

Check the setting for the ICC profile in Preferences > Camera Raw > Workflow > Colour Space. The default is ProPhoto RGB with a bit depth of 16 bits/channel Dave

Thank You so much.  No idea how that got changed, but your suggestion was the fix.  Appreciate it.
