Exporting RGB colour mode now uses CMYK in latest update

[Marne Jakins]

has anyone else experienced the issue with "export to screens" now won't convert document to RGB when the ducument colour mode is selected RGB? I can now only "export as" for any digital jpg's I produce. This is extreemly frustrating. Using Illustrator v26.4

Hello @Marne Jakins,

Sorry to hear about this experience. I am unable to replicate this on my end. Would you mind checking if the problem persists with other files as well? Also, kindly share the file here or via DM so we can review it as well.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav

It works as usual for me.

It is still doing it, but i can get it to work if I restart illustrator and leave the suffix -RGB 😲

The suffix has nothing whatsoever to do with the file. What you are trying there is witchcraft and cannot work.

Please post some screenshots and upload that resulting JPG. How are you determining the color mode afterwards?

Hello @Marne Jakins,

As suggested by Monika, it would help to identify the problem if you could share a screen recording of the problem.

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.

It did once export as CMYK jpeg, but when I went into the jpeg settings for Export for Screens and made sure the Embed ICC Profile was checked it exported as RGB.
