Photoshop question

[Sheermadness]

Hi,
I don't know if any of this matters however I'm using the Canon 20d camera. I have it set up for Adobe RGB. My computer OS is XP and I'm using PS CS. Color work space is set to Adobe RGB and color management is set to convert to Adobe RGB. The situation I'm wondering about: I processed some new photos last night with the same settings for all. When I clicked save as for most of the pictures the ICC profile box was automatically checked but for a few it was not. It seems like all the ones where the ICC was unchecked were verticals but I can't remember if all the verticals had the unchecked ICC. There could have even been a few horizontals but I just didn't notice at the time. I did look at the pictures before I worked on them in another program and rotated verticals. I noticed when I opened the verticals in PS they had reverted back to horizontal. Could this rotating have been what caused the ICC box to be unchecked and would anyone know why this would be or if something else caused it?
Thanks if you can help.

It's possible that your other software--the one you ran the photos through to rotate the verticals before opening them in PS CS--changed the ICC profile of the shots you saved.

Did you shoot in RAW or JPEG on the camera? If it was RAW, what software did you use to convert them? Did you use any other software between transferring the photos from the camera / memory card and opening them in Photoshop? It sounds like some software you used removed the ICC profile and other information from the files.

Thanks Jesper. I shot in JPEG. The only software (Microsoft Camera and Scanner Wizard) used was to import the pictures and view them. No modifications were made other than to rotate the verticals for viewing purposes. I don't think the verticals actually rotated because they were back on their sides when I opened them in PS. I think it still messed up the EXIF data. Not sure why. I'll try a different program for importing and see if it happens again.

You might also check the format options when saving a file in MS Camera and/or Scanner Wizard. The save function might be assigning a non-adobeRGB ICC profile to your image after you make modifications (as might any program you modify your images with). Best to check the defaults and adjust as necessary.
