“Setting Color Space Conversions.”)
If Photoshop is set to ask how to proceed with the conversion, the Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box shown in Figure 4-16 opens, offering three choices:
Use the Embedded Profile (Instead of the Working Space): This option tells Photoshop to open the image using the color profile setting saved with the image.
Convert Document’s Colors to the Working Space: This option converts the image to the current color space settings.
Discard the Embedded Profile (Don’t Color Manage): This option throws away the color profile setting saved with the image and opens the image without any color translation in the current color space.

Figure 4-16: The Embedded Profile Mismatch dialog box lets you choose how you want color space conversion handled.
The color management system included in Photoshop is a great tool and works well enough for many users. But, if you are a professional Mac artist creating high-end output for offset printing, you may need more. Creo, Inc. offers Profile Wizard 2.6, a professional prepress color management system that handles output color profiles of more than four colors (including Hexachrome), accurately measures and reproduces spot colors (including Pantone color libraries), preserves and enhances black channel information, and much more.
