![]() ![]() In the color management world there is only 2 options when you wish to play around with colors and profiles: assign or convert colors. This is the simple explanation of course, there is much more going on in the background. ![]() The colors you see on your screen on a calibrated and profiled monitor is actually raw values sent by the OS to the graphics card which then "assigns" the monitor profile to the values in real time so that the colors look like they should on the monitor. If you open a photo in Photoshop, take a screen capture (let's say for now via the built-in OS tool), then open this screen shot in Photoshop (and preserve the profile in the file) and compare both side to side, then you will see that the colors are visually similar even though the numbers for each pixel is different from one to the other. The fact that the monitor's profile gets embedded is the only way the OS can preserve the appearance of colors in your photos.
