Question

Help! ICC profile when saving a file

When I save a file for printing do I need co click the icc profile button. I declare I don't remember 

seeing this option before I updated my computer.   I've googled and can't find an answer I'll check back 

often to see if anyone has questions. 

 

I'm making a book cover for printing on Amazon and I am unsure if I need to click this button or not. 

 

Thanks 

Samantha

Embedding an ICC profile adds clarity and definition to the numbers/values in the file.

 

For RGB, definitely – yes!

 

For CMYK, almost always yes, but no can be a valid option in certain workflows.

    Thank you.  I'm not sure what might be a valid option to not use it. My main concern is that I make the correct 

    steps to make the best looking book cover for my clients and myself.  Normally my images conist of people sitting standing, sometimes objects lilke books on a table. So it sounds like the best steps would be 

    to click that little icc button.  I do thank you for your time. I did search this online I hate to be a bother to people 😉 

    Happy Easter!  

    Second note, I never noticed this option before I updated to Eleven now it's bright blue and easy to see.  I hope this helps others too.
