I had an Image from the camera was taken in RGB Mode and I wanted to convert it to sRGB for a digital projector. So I removed the color profile.
Image>Convert Color Profile>Remove Profile > then Apply sRGB Profile

That went Ok. :)

Then I changed the color profile. Apply sRGB Profile

Before closing the image, I then had window that gave me the option of saving this as an sRGB so I did and now have a copy of this Image in sRGB.

But, I noticed that the Color Mode of the sRGB profile did not change to sRGB. It remained as RGB. So this wouldn't be a true transition; would it?

I would think that the colors wouldn't be as good if it was a mixed setting RGB Color Mode and a sRGB color profile. :confused: Wouldn't the Image loose the colorpunch in the process of these mixed settings?

What are your opinions about this?

I'm wading into murky water for me:D

One thing that needs to be clarified. Where are you seeing the RGB? If it is just when the image is open (Image>Mode>RGB Color) and not in the exif data, then that is what Elements shows.

If it is in the exif data then sorry, I have no idea.
