New Computer lost my settings

[SueR]

I'm finally ready to go thru my classes and refresh my memory on editing but my old computer crashed and I can't figure out the correct settings.  I did look at your site but I'm still not sure I have it correct since I am getting a message when I take a photo from ACR to PS.  Here's my screen shots.

 

 

ACR 

I read only assign a profile (I don't think I have this correct - tried to put working serge but it won't take it??) - but wasn't sure what to put in the convert if anything.

This shows up when I take from ACR to PS

 

Help please.

Your ACR settings are perfect.  So are your Photoshop settings.  If you edit a photo in ACR then press "Open Image" to take it directly into PS, you definitely shouldn't be getting this message.

Can you show me a screenshot of the photo in ACR?

Yes, there's the problem.  Adobe RGB.

Thank you!  I thought I had changed it earlier but this fixed it!  One to read about editing from the start, RAW.

For a change to stick, two things must happen:

1. You must have only ONE file open at the time of the change;
2. You must open the raw file into Photoshop afterwards.

I'd say you didn't fulfill one or both of those.

thank you for you help!

Hey Damien - back at this editing setting up thing.... I want to make sure my color space is correct before I get back into things:

This is what I have right now:  My only question is photo 2 and 4 - 2 still says RGB at the top left and photo 4 say don't color manage this document (is that correct?). It's been so long I'm starting over again and I can't remember what this all said before.  

[Damien Symonds]

You don't ever need to go into the "Convert to Profile" or "Assign Profile" windows. Ignore them.

This one is correct of course:
