Perhaps someone could tell me if these setting are correct.
There is no single "correct" set, or Adobe wouldn't have been obliged to
offer choices... but I will note that your "RGB color management off" is
dangerous, and would be safer set to CM on, and either convert, or open in
existing... both are identical except for which choice is preselected for you
in the dialog box they invoke when an RGB file is opened that is not in your
default RGB space.
