Photoshop - Embeded Profile

[shafiq]

Whenever I try and open an image in Adobe Photoshop, I always get an "Embeded Profile Mismatch" dialog box appear...the message reads something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------
"The document xxx.jpg has an embedded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space.

Embedded: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Working: Adobe RCG (1998)

How do you want to proceed?
1. Use the embedded profile (instead of the working space)
2. Convert document's colors to the working space
3. Discard the embedded profile (don't color manage)
------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone please explain what all this means and which i sould select?

Thx in advance
Shafiq

Entire books have been written about this...

Until you learn more, I suggest you change the current RGB working space in Photoshop to sRGB, and you can do this in the EDIT menu and select COLOR SETTINGS...

Then select sRGB as the RGB working space. This way it will match your camera.

Then, go do some reading here:
