Colour Profile and Photoshop Export troubles

[mwenz]

A few things. Xara applications only allow the embedding of profiles with CMYK, so an RGB profile means nothing. Xara always uses sRGB for images and if they are tagged with, or have an RGB profile embedded, it is stripped out.

Second, what you have been given is not an image profile--so it would do no good in InDesign, PP, QXP, Photoshop or anything else. What you have been given is a "gamut mapping profile" and should be part of a Windows installation though you won't be choosing it in Windows except under very specific reasons. I.e., don't use it.

Thirdly, for whatever reason, Xara applications only see certain types of color profiles intended for CMYK. You can, however, choose to drop the "ICC profiles" dropdown box down and choose "All Files" to find the others installed on your system. However, Xara applications will still only allow the choosing of CMYK profiles versus say a grayscale profile (or RGB or what have you).

Xara applications are not color managed.
