Is there a way I can automate saving files like JPGs to sRGB without having to click the checkbox every time in the dialogue box? Thanks.

Please explain what you are doing.

»Save As« does not include a conversion-option so are you talking about exporting?

Have you considered using Actions or Scripts?

Uh, hmm. On Windows 10 64bit when I go to Save As in Photoshop it looks like this... See the toggle box. It is unchecked pretty much 100% of the time. Most of my word is on screen or online and I benefit from including the sRGB profile. It's annoying to have to chek that every single time.

You can set »Profile Mismatches« and »Missing Profiles« to »Ask When Opening«.

You could also set the RGB Policy to »Convert to Working RGB« (if the desired sRGB is the Working Space) but I would discourage that vehemently.

A Script could handle the saving and include checking if the image is sRGB and converting if not.

How experienced are you with JavaScript?

I could write an action. Would love to avoid adding one more step to the workflow though.

Just curious, do you always edit in a different color profile? I guess Adobe is a larger space. I remember at one point people saying something about changint it to that and to 16 bit, making your changes then saving. So often the project type / budget and rapid turnaround time I don't bother because the images still look stunning.
