Hi,
I am really a newbie when it comes to color systems and color matching. I was wondering. In all the items I am reading, it mentions that when I save a file in Photoshop, that the profiles (That I have checked, [rgb, cmyk, etc..]) will be embedded in the file. It does not mention if the profiles are only saved in Photoshop files, or any filetype that I save when saving the file using photoshop. For example, will TIFF or TGA or JPG files saved from photoshop contain these embedded profiles? (I don't think so, but I need to verify that ONLY photoshop files have these profiles).
Also, when I scan files, I want the stored file to be of the highest quality. So I have been saving them as 600DPI scanned TIFFs. If I want to use the color management, and it has to be done through PS6 filetypes, is the Photoshop filetype going to be of the same quality image as if I saved it as a "TIFF" file? I don't know if I lose qulity storing it as a PS6 ("psd"?) file.
Sincerely,
Kevin Shapiro
