There are file-opening tools you can use to get
digital photos to appear in their proper colors.
Photoshop has had real Color Management support since version
6.0. By properly processing ICC Profiles, it can properly reproduce color with a fair degree of precision.
At first, you will probably worry about processing ICC Profiles. For example, what do you do if you get an
alert dialog when you try to open a graphic file? If you understand Photoshop's Color Settings and understand
the properties (color spaces) of the graphic files you want to open, the rest of the process becomes more-or-less
mechanical in nature.
First, open the graphic file, by choosing either [Open] or [Browse] from the [File] menu. [Browse] lets you
view the image while you open it. Use one or the other method to open a graphic file.

This section covers what to do if the profile in the graphic file you want to open does not match, as well as what
to do if the graphic file in question has no profile at all. Please refer to them as necessary.

If Profiles Do Not Match
If the checkbox for [Profiles Do Not Match] is checked in the [Color Management
Policy] section of [Color Settings] under the [Edit] menu and the ICC Profile designated in the workspace
is different from the profile embedded in the graphic file, then a dialog window will appear with options
to choose from.
When this happens, choose [Use Embedded File In Place of Workspace], as shown in the figure below.

 If
the checkbox for [No Profile Present] is checked in the [Color Management Policy] section of [Color
Settings] under the [Edit] menu, a dialog like that shown in the figure at left will appear when
you open a graphic file that lacks an embedded profile. Normally, you cannot properly reproduce colors
in a graphic file that lacks a profile. If you're not sure, however, the safest thing to do is choose
[Leave as Is (No Color Management)].
If images taken with a digital camera or scanned with a scanner do not have embedded profiles, Photoshop uses sRGB
as their color space. Therefore, choose [sRGBIEC61966-2.1] in the [Designate Profile] pop-up menu.
