I was trying to make a canvas print with the art I made in photoshop but when I uploaded it in PNG to the printers website it seems to change the color profile to sRGB from the imbedded adobe RGB. I asked their support if they accept adobe RGB and they said yes. So I guess my question is will it look like it does on photoshop with CMYK turned on in view as it will on a canvas?
You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using To ask in the forum for your program please start at https://community.adobe.com/ Moving from Using the Community (which is about the forums) to the correct forum
If you see a color change, the Adobe RGB profile isnt honored. So they obviously don't have a properly color managed process.
The best you can do in that case is to send sRGB - but given that it isn't properly color managed, don't expect absolute accuracy.
There's no point in proofing. Turn it off. And CMYK is irrelevant, this is printed on inkjet printers, which are RGB devices expecting RGB data. CMYK is strictly for commercial offset print.
I just wonder if it's just the website can't show it in Adobe RGB. But the support staff wasn't very helpful. I probably just keep looking for somewhere that will accept the correct color profile. Thank you for the info.
The print shop should provide YOU with the necessary color and print preset profile they require to match the paper and inks they use. I usually submit high quality PDF to my print professional, not PNG or JPG.

Threes no point soft-proofing unless you are given the ICC profile for the output process. Also I agree with @D Fosse that it would be best to make the Adobe RGB to sRGB conversion yourself before sending. Maybe archive an original as Adobe RGB and make a copy, flatten any layers then convert to sRGB, resize if needed and sharpen. Then send

I've tried to assign a sRGB profile but it still looks dull. I just made a new one and tried the original on my TV and it looks very bright but I wanted to up the ppi so I imported it into photoshop, changed the poi and saved as a copy to jpeg which is what it was originally and made sure the profile was checked and it's much duller on the TV then the original.
I figured it out. I was importing the image into Lightroom first then editing it in PS so that was assigned a different color profile. Then when I saved it and opened it on my tv or Apple Watch it didn't know what it was supposed to be. If I open the image in my files on my computer and select open with PS it will then be the correct color profile once I save it. Thanks to everyone who helped. It was just user error lol
