Hello ,everyone ! I am having an issue with my photos lately . The skin looks way too grey an d the contrast of the entire photo is too high. Even Photoshop noticed me that I have " an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space" . On my camera I have sRGB . The photos are taken with a Nikon d810 /24-70 2.8 / SB910 flash . (Jpeg files) What happened ? I did reset the values using the 2 buttons ,but nothing changed.

Thank you !

And for the other request ,I am not sure which Status Bar /Document Profile are you talking about.


Hi Nicoleta

Change your RGB working space to either "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"  (easier if you are unsure) or "Adobe RGB 1998" (which encompasses more colours but will mean you must convert to sRGB when saving or exporting images for the web)

Change all three Color Management Policies to "Preserve Embedded Profiles"

Please set the Status Bar to Document Profile and post screenshots to illustrate what you are talking about.

Even Photoshop noticed me that I have " an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space" .

And what do you do when the alert appears?

What are your Edit > Colour Settings?

I never changed anything in Photoshop since I downloaded it . First time I used the option "Discard the embedded profile " , but after reading some forums about that I used the first option with "Use the embedded profile " . But why do I have this problem now ,since I don't remeber changing anything in the menu of the camera?

Your color management policies within Photoshop, in combination with your working space, define the behavior.

In Edit > Color Settings, this workflow is defined. Please post a screen shot or tell us these three things (as originally requested above by c.pfaffenbichler​ ) :

  1. Working space for RGB
  2. Color Management policy for RGB
  3. Profile Mismatch settings

Also please post a copy of your document status as requested above.
