Thanks a lot for the infor. I’m new to all this stuff and I had 2 different profiles, now they are the same Adobe RGB 1998
Great! Glad to hear you found the information useful.

I am working on several pieces for printing in a book. Thanks for this valuable information. My profiles were set wrong. Now I hope I am no longer a unconscious incompatible!
🙂 Sounds like you had the same “gotcha” as I did.
– Catherine
Thank you! This was so useful, and completely new to me. Wish I’d known it before I made my first photobooks.
I ran into this issue with my first photobooks too. I know it can be frustrating and glad that this information was useful!

Great information! Thank you Catherine for resolving an issue that has puzzled me and caused me to shy away from Lightroom!
Excellent! Glad to hear that you found the information useful.

Thank you Catherine, it was very informative. I will check that my profiles are set up correctly in Photoshop and On One Raw.
Thanks for the comment – glad you found the tutorial useful.

Thanks Catherine! I have known for a very long time, that I needed to get a grip on this subject, but it has been very very far down on my to-do-list, as I have always found it difficult to understand.
Your tutorial helped me a lot and now I know where to begin. Thanks again.
Thanks for the comment – I’ve found that setting color profiles correctly can make a big difference, and avoid a lot of printing problems and re-work.
Thanks so much Catherine. Mine was set wrong too, but not anymore.
Thank you so much Catherine! I’ve just changed my Lightroom settings.
This was terrific. Quite helpful as I need to change up color profile for various projects and did not really understand the concepts.
Thanks. Checked mine, and they were ok, but now I know!!
Catherine, should my dslr also be set to the same color profile as Lightroom so the photos import without a conflicting color profile embedded? Thanks.
Thanks for another great tutorial, Catherine.
Great tutorial Catherine, thank you…made the changes in Ps and Lr.
This was a great tutorial, I have learned so much from this and your other tutorials. You explain it so well, I hope we get more of your tutorials, thank you Catherine
I’ve always found this an unclear topic, so thanks for clarifying some issues Catherine, much appreciated!
Thank you for the tutorial, can you tell me what should happen when I bring textures in which are nearly all in srgb. Should I change the doc profile to srgb, otherwise there will be two different profiles in the document.
