Embedding color profiles when saving files


Embedding a color profile attaches the color profile to the document to ensure that the same colors you used are shared with anyone who views or prints the document. In this way, you help ensure color consistency when files are viewed, modified, or reproduced.

If you did not assign a color profile to the file, the default color profile is embedded.

The following file formats support color profile embedding:

RIFF (RIF)
TIFF (TIF)
Photoshop (PSD)
JPEG
Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
