Correcting 'Mismatched colour profile' too complicated

[joe_l]

Maybe I am overlooking something? Here is my recipe for correcting images in APu marked with a 'mismatched colour profile'.

Starting point: An opened PDF, now in CMYK, having lots of embedded images with no colour profile.

Current workflow: To get rid of the 'mismatched colour profile' errors, make the images linked, open and edit them in AP and finally save / export them.

Wanted workflow: Put the embedded image into isolated layer mode and assign the correct colour profile in the Photo Persona. Easy and shorter!

For those going to give me the advice to rasterise the images: NO, but thx anyway for your support. I have NO control over HOW the image gets rasterised. In my case rasterising the image leads to a recognizable loss of quality.

Once you've made them Linked, double-click them and switch to the Photo Persona. Then set the color profile there, and Save.

Count the clicks, the time used and then tell me what would be less complicated or time consuming.

It's less complicated than switching to the Photo application, as you described you're doing now. 

It's also possible you can avoid switching to the Photo Persona and do it all in the Publisher Persona once you've made them Linked. Double-click, Document Setup, make the change, and Save.

I have the same problem but only on 1 page cover of a book.  I've used the exact same photos in the inside of the book and there is no mismatched colour space ... go figure!  I have absolutely no idea why it's happening.  In fact I copied and pasted the files to see if that helps.
