Adobe Ignore EXIF Color Space Plug-in 2.0

Adobe Ignore EXIF Color Space Plug-in 2.0 is a simple yet powerful utility that is developed as an Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 plugin that will instruct Photoshop Elements to ignore the color space specified in EXIF metadata.

When opening images from digital cameras, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 reads the ICC color profile and EXIF metadata supplied by the camera to determine which color space it should use to interpret each image. Certain digital cameras do not embed ICC profiles and always specify the sRGB color space in the EXIF data, even though they allow the photographer to use different spaces. As a result, Photoshop Elements behaves as if each image is tagged with an sRGB ICC profile.

In the ignoring mode, Photoshop Elements will ignore the EXIF color space. Photoshop Elements will continue to ignore the EXIF color space setting in files unless the plug-in is removed and Photoshop Elements is restarted.
