About preserving RGB device profiles

For device profiles for RGB images to be preserved when the images are opened on another computer system, the profiles must be installed on that system. If the profiles have not been installed or are not available, the Missing Image Sources dialog box lists the missing device profiles.

If you install the original profiles and then reopen the image, the profile assignments of the RGB images remain intact. If you do not install the original device profiles, the default device profile for RGB images is temporarily assigned to the image. If you reopen the image without replacing the original device profile and then choose a new device profile, the new profile is assigned to RGB images.
