The checkbox to embed in PNG is sticky for me too; no issues on MacOS, the latest release of PS.

Seem to have found the root of the problem?

  1. If I open a PNG file with a color profile set to sRGB and save as to a tif file, the box is auto-UNCHECKED. 
  2. If I open a PNG file with a color profile set to sRGB, and add an ALPHA channel,  and save as to a tif file, the box is auto-UNCHECKED. 
  3. If I open a PNG file with a color profile set to sRGB, and convert to profile (same sRGB profile) and save as to a tif file, the box is auto-UNCHECKED. 
  4. HOWEVER, If I open a PNG file with a color profile set to sRGB, Convert to Profile (Same sRGB profile), add an alpha channel,  and save as to a tif file, the box is auto-CHECKED correctly.

 

It seems the key being that I need to do a convert to profile everytime even though its the same exact profile and add an alpha channel. Quite strange...

Scratch that not working again. Worked for a few files then reverted back to being unchecked....I give up.

Doing a full system restart after updating seems to be the trick. When updating to 23.3 without a restart of the system it persists (even while closing and restarting photoshop specifically). Tested this on 3 different PC's. 

Thanks!

@Jake7732 I can't replicate that here. It remains checked for TIFF

This only fixed the issue for PNG/JPG file types.

When saving as TIF files the issue persists. 

Saved the file with the box checked, went to save again and its already unchecked. 

Restarted Photoshop, Saved a TIF file with the box checked. Restarted, and problem is still there.

@davescm Thanks for that. I was so ready to expect further disappointment on this ridiculously simple 4-month-old issue, that it never occured to me that the button may be sticky. All good!

@bajesus Try checking the box and Saving. It is now sticky so will remain checked for future saves (it is here on Windows)

What is it that you fixed? Because it certainly wasn't the issue addressed here. If I Save As a PNG, I want the Embed Color Profile button checked by default just as it is when I save as a JPEG. It still isn't.
