Always Optimize Colors For Computer Screens – Attaches sRGB to photos without a profi le and uses sRGB as the working space but maintains any attached profi les when opening images. to pick the Full color management option as this is the only choice that made use of a complete ICC profi le workfl ow. From version 4.0 of Elements Adobe revamped the color management system to make it easier to understand and more logical to use. You now have four options to choose from in the Color Settings dialog. In addition to these settings you also have the ability to change the profi le attached to your photo or even remove it totally.

If you need image-by-image control over what profi le is used then select the Allow Me To Choose setting. Always Optimize For Printing – Attaches AdobeRGB to photos without a profi le and uses AdobeRGB as the working space but maintains any attached profi les when opening images. Allow Me To Choose – Maintains all attached profi les but allows the user to choose between sRGB and AdobeRGB when opening untagged fi les (Editor workspace only).

Here you can choose which profi le is attached to the photo. Selecting one of the options in the Image > Convert Color Profi le menu will convert the picture’s color to the selected color space. However if you press Ctrl when selecting a new profi le, it will apply the profi le without converting. This gives the image the appearance that it has been converted but maintains the underlying colors of the original. This option is the same as Photoshop’s Assign Profi le command.
