Embed colour profile sRGB when exporting as jpeg not working

Hello all, I have this problem when exporting a Indesign document to a jpeg file with an sRGB colour profile. Normally when I select Embed colour Profile: sRGB IEC62966-2.1 (see screenshot) it embeds the sRGB profile (as it should.) But now it embeds the Adobe RGB profile, even when selecting to embed sRGB. If I open the file in Photoshop (see next screenshot) it clearly shows me the Adobe RGB profile is embedded and not the sRGB one. Any idea what I am doing wrong here? Or does it maybe have something to do with the new Indesign version?

Kind regards, Eric.

Ok, I think I found the solution. The Colour Settings in Indesign were set to 'Emulate Adobe Indesign 2.0 CMS off'.... Because of this the sRGB profiles were not getting embedded. I changed it into 'Custom' and left the standard settings as they were (see 2nd screenshot). After this the sRGB profile did get embedded.

I don't know how this could have happened because I have never changed these settings. Might have something to do with updating Indesign to the newest version....

That's the reason. You installed InDesign CC 2019 and color management was turned off.

You may notice that also all other versions of InDesign installed will follow this immediately.

Not sure, but isn't that second dialog suggesting the document has NO profile; it's offering a profile to you, with Adobe RGB top of the list. You haven't shown Adobe RGB was embedded, but that nothing was embedded.

No that's not the case. Because if I click on 'Don't Color Manage This Document' or 'Working RGB: sRGB' the colours change even before pressing OK. So the working profile is Adobe RGB.

That would happen if your Photoshop's Color Settings RGB Color Management Policy was set to Convert to Working RGB, and the PS Working RGB Space was set to AdobeRGB. Make sure your Photoshop RGB policy is set to Preserve Embedded Profiles before you open the JPEG.
