Unable to save as PNG with Embed Color Profile enabled in CS5

Hey there!

Now I know this an older version of PS but I use it sparingly. I am trying to save a file as a PNG, but when doing so the ability to enable the "Embed Color Profile" option is not offered. Can anyone be so kind as to offer a possible solution?

I would be most grateful!

In current versions, the profile is embedded whether Save As, Save For Web or Export.

But I remember that this used to be rather inconsistent some versions back. Save For Web would not embed the profile under any circumstances. Save As worked, so that's what I always used - but the checkbox was grayed out so you really were a bit in the dark.

D Fosse,

That’s exactly where I stand with the issue at hand… I am completely in the dark as to whether or not “Embed Color Profile is in fact truly enabled or not. And I’m not one to assume, especially when it comes to such issues. This would be for a .png saved for print, if the helps further this discussion.

Thanks!

Try this: Save out a file then (if Windows) right click > properties details. See if it shows the color profile. Adobe Bridge will show it, too.

Are you using Save As or another method?
