@TheDigitalDog We found that a recent, unrelated change resulted in this behavior and we are working toward addressing it. Previously, the Working Profile from Color Settings would get assigned to untagged documents when checking this option. This makes sense since that same profile was being used to interpret the colors of the document while viewing it before going to save, so the user already knows what the end result will look like.

This makes sense in behavor, maybe not from a UI standpoint. 

If you have an untagged document, it would be a very bad idea to allow embedding of whatever is seen here without first using the Assign Profile command. At this point, this is all RGB mystery meat and the user needs to view the image and toggle the 'correct' (visually) profile to Assign it, then of course the check box is accessible. 

The UI should probably gray out the option with untagged documents using Save As.... instead of showing the check box and having the user try, unsuccessfully, to click on it. Or pop an error (can't embed profile in untagged documents), or something like that. 

So at the very least, the UI could aid the user and then slap his/her hand for having untagged data <g>.

In Photoshop 23.3.0 (Mac OS 12.3.1) lässt sich beim Speichern als psd oder tif das Häkchen zum Einbetten der Farbprofile nicht mehr anwählen. Das Farbprofil kann nicht mehr eingebettet werden.

Hello @hyungsongnam. I see this behavior when the image I'm saving doesn't have a profile currently associated with it. It would make sense at this point for this option to be off and not able to be turned on since there is no profile set to be saved into the file. Can you double-check to see if the file you are trying to save has a profile? There are several ways to do this: 

1. In the document tab (at the top of the document window, where it lists the document name, color mode, bit-depth, etc), if you see a "#" next to the bit-depth, then there is no profile associated with it
2. In the bottom left of the document window is a customizable status window (next to the Zoom percentage). You change change this setting to "Document Profile" and if it says "Untagged" there is no profile.

3. Go to Edit > Assign Profile. If "Don't Color Manage This Document" is selected, there is no profile assigned.

If you have no profile, you can use Assign Profile to give it one. Be careful with this setting though as the wrong profile can cause the color to shift. You can use Convert to Profile instead, while it holds similar pitfalls in this situation, it is the safer option.
