In using ColorPerfect you'll have to set the value of Gamma C on ColorPerfect's start panel according to what color space you chose. Either you'll always have to do the removal step or you don't. You only have to determine this once for your scanning workflow. If both are available or if the wrong one is grayed out another profile than the one desired is assigned and you should remove it. When using sRGB "Convert to sRGB profile" should be grayed out on the "Image > Convert Color Profile" menu after opening the file and when using Adobe RGB 1998 "Convert to Adobe RGB Profile" should be. Whether this removal step is required for your scanner software's workflow is easy to determine. This is not desirable so you'll have to use the "Image > Convert Color Profile > Remove Profile" command to assign either sRGB (if you chose "Always Optimize Colors for Computer Screens" as your Color Setting) or Adobe RGB 1998 (if you chose "Always Optimize Colors for Printing" as your Color Setting). That means that after opening the scan the embedded profile - whatever it might be - would be used to interpret the image data shown in ColorPerfect and Photoshop Elements. The only downside to this is that some scanning applications do embed a color profile even when using the workflows intended to create linear scans (RAW scans) which are detailed on the scanner pages.
This is sensible and important when dealing with images that have already been edited by someone. If the image does have an embedded profile that intrinsic profile will be used instead of the above default unless you specifically remove it.
At the same time these determine what profile is assigned upon using the "Image > Convert Color Profile > Remove Profile" command. The next two options lead to either sRGB or Adobe RGB 1998 being assigned when opening images that don't contain any embedded color profile. In addition there's the fact that many such device profiles are not intended to store images in so there are various potential problems in setting up ColorPerfect, too. This generally is not a good idea as it can lead to various misinterpretations of existing images. The first option "No Color Management" discards any color profile that might be embedded in any image files you open and lets Photoshop Elements assign your primary screen's device profile to the image data instead. There is the four basic color management options in Photoshop Elements shown below. "Edit > Color Settings" determins what color space is assigned upon "Remove Profile" Which profile does get assigned is determined from your Color Settings instead. The only difference is that you can't specify what profile is being assigned like you could in Photoshop. The "Remove Profile" option however is actually equivalent to the desired "Assign Profile" command in Photoshop.
The latter two should never be used prior to converting negative scans with ColorPerfect's ColorNeg mode as they are potentially harmful to your photo's colors when used at this early stage of the process. There is the "Edit > Color Settings" dialogue as depicted below and there are three options on the "Image > Convert Color Profile" menu being "Remove Profile", "Convert to sRGB profile" and "Convert to Adobe RGB Profile". While there is no explicit way to assign a color profile in PSE it's still possibleĭiffering from Photoshop there are very few options when it comes to color spaces in Photoshop Elements. It's enough to read on until you hit a link back to this Photoshop Elements specific sub page. Before reading this text please do read the first paragraphs of the more general article about ColorPerfect, ColorNeg et al. That is not a problem though - if you understand what you are facing. This article is specifically about Photoshop Elements (PSE) which has a reduced feature set when it comes to dealing with color spaces. & RGB / gray working spaces in Photoshop Elements (PSE)
