profile.- Now find the image on the network and open your image in Photoshop.
Before the image opens, a dialog box appears (see Figure 18.7).
The image has no color profile information. As a result, Photoshop doesn’t know
what color space created it, nor what ICC color profile should be used with it.
Consumer digital cameras tag images with either the sRGB or uncalibrated RGB
color profiles. More advanced digital SLRs include the RAW mode, which contains no
color profile information. For this reason, the user must import the RAW information
into a special program or plug-in and then attach a working color profile.
