DPP How to export TIFF files with embedded color profile

Hi folks,

Several months ago I discovered I liked the results of saving a Canon CR3 RAW image as an 8 BIt TIFF and then importing into Lightroom for editing. When I did, the color profile would be shown as EMBEDDED.

Been a few motnhs, and just tried again and now the imported LR TIFF shows a color profile as COLOR.

I don't think I changed anything but something did. How to I export from DPP so that the color profile is EMBEDDED?

Hope this all makes sense. Thanks.

The issue here is that different Lightroom versions use different Process versions depending on the age. Different process versions provide different functions and settings.

I'm using the latest Lightroom Classic, and at the end of the right hand sidebar is the Calibration panel, where I can choose the current latest process version or an older one. I selected a .TIFF that was in my library already and changed the Process version. Then I checked what was shown for the profile in the basic panel. For process version 1, 2, or 3 the profile was embedded, for process version 4, 5 or 6 the profile was Color.

It is most certainly the case that your recent Lightroom Classic and Lightroom 6 use different process versions and this accounts for the different behaviour.

Hello all! Since I haven't used PS for several years, this response is more out of curiosity than anything else, but when you are saving to tiff are you using "Convert and save" or the "Transfer to Photoshop" command?

This is what the DPP manual says about the Transfer option in Tools. I am truly curious if it works or is a viable option. I understand that the OP is using PS 6, so this won't apply.
