Document profile

[Ashley]

My hard drive crashed and I had to have it replaced. I needed to download photoshop again and now my document profile says this. I have never seen it say display p3 before instead of srgb. I cannot seem to correct it.

Gosh, I'm so pleased you noticed this problem.  Well done.

What is the origin of this photo?  I mean, did you edit it before the hard drive crash, or since?

[Ashley]

This was taken with an iphone (not sure if that makes a difference). No editing has been done. I uploaded the photos from my phone to the computer and then my hard drive crashed. The computer repair shop was able to retrieve the data and transferred it to the new hard drive.

Ah.  Then yes, I think that's a common profile for iPhone photos.

As long as your raw files say sRGB as usual, I'd say you're fine.

[Ashley]

Okay, thank you! Glad to hear that its not a serious issue. Should I switch the profile to srgb for each iphone photo? These are not professional photos...just vacation photos of my kids.

[Damien Symonds]

Can you check something for me?  Go to Edit>Assign profile, and assign the sRGB profile, then toggle the Preview off and on and see if the photo changes very much when you do it.

[Ashley]

It doesn't change it

Fantastic news!  Then you really don't need to worry about anything.  Leave those iphone pics exactly as they are.
