Adobe Illustrator warnings GO AWAY

This Illustrator warning:

"Your current color settings honor CMYK profiles in linked content but profiles were set to be ignored when this document was created."

comes up for EVERY SINGLE FILE we receive, download, purchase.

Yet these warnings are constantly there.

 

I honestly have no memory of this always happening in Illustrator in earlier versions.

 

HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THESE‽

And don't say "you have to work in the profile they were set up in."


I'm a video editor and animator,

I want to work in RGB

and frankly I don't really care about a colour profile mismatch.

I want the warnings banished.

 

 

I absolutely cannot stand OK dialogues.

Extra clicks for nothing seems like some kind of punishment for something I didn't do.

As far as programmers are concerned,

I think it should just be a warning symbol that appears in the bottom of the frame without an "ok" button

or maybe a temporary floating warning that appears off to the side.

Hello @

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind disabling the notifications for Profile Mismatch and Missing Profiles under Illustrator's color settings to see if it helps?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

That will not solve it. It won't even help not embedding a profile. Besides: turning off the warnings is the worst idea concerning color management and will cause a boatload of additional issues.

Respectfully Monika...not it won't cause me a boatload of issues. It's a CMYK file that I'm going to move into an RGB environment. I have to. Unless somehow the world makes all TVs CMYK compliant, I can't get around this. I know there will be a colour shift. I'm preparred for that. Not the end of the world. And definitely not worth warning me about every single time.
