A core part of a color managed editing system is the ability to save pictures so that they are tagged or have a color or ICC profile attached. The profile describes the color space that the picture was created in and allows the accurate representation of the colors and tones in the photo on screen and when printed. Photoshop allows the saving or embedding of color profiles (in file formats that support the option) in both the Save for Web (2) and Save As (1) dialogs. An embedding or profile checkbox is contained in each of these dialogs. To maintain the completeness of the color management system and the accurate representation of photos on your and other systems, ensure that this checkbox is always ticked.

This dialog box (1) appears when you open a picture that has an embedded profile that is different to the one you use for your working color space. You then have three options: Use the embedded profile – This option maintains the original color profile that is associated with the image. Convert document’s colors to the working space – Selecting this option makes a conversion between the existing color space and the one that you have currently selected as your working space. Discard the embedded profile – This choice deletes the profile that is currently attached to the picture you are opening. The actions that Photoshop follows when it encounters a profile mismatch situation is governed by the options in the Edit > Color Settings dialog (2). As a general rule always select the Ask When Opening item as this gives you the opportunity to decide which of the three ‘mismatch’ options is best to use for the scenario.

By clicking and dragging the Elliptical Marquee tool on the picture surface, it is possible to draw oval-shaped selections. Holding down the Shift key whilst using this tool restricts the selection to circle shapes, whilst using the Alt (Windows) or Options (Mac) keys will draw the selections from their centers.
