Marco,
What do they look like in Photoshop after you turn OFF the color
Color management is never off in Photoshop. Even untagged, the
appearance of
an image is still controlled. For example, if I open the file as
untagged,
the appearance is determined by the meaning of the file's color
numbers as
interpreted through whatever default RGB profile is selected in the
Color
Settings.
On the other hand, if I assign my monitor profile to the file, its
appearance then matches what I see in the non-color-managed browser,
since
that is what the browser uses to display the image file. I just found
that
out.
Right. That's why I put 'off' in caps, to emphasize that I mean
effectively off. by using your monitor profile, you are simulating what
other, non-color managed apps will look like when they send the color
values directly to the monitor. The way I do it is to have my image in
sRGB and soft-proof for the monitor profile, using 'preserve color
numbers'. That's as close to off as you can get it to OFF these days. I
suppose that's the same as assigning the monitor profile with the
advantage of not having to change the profile from sRGB, in case you
forget to change it back before embedding it!
