Yes if you save to TIFF...it gets locked in (That's the case with any program). Same if you save to JPEG but has no effect on the original RAW file. In this case you saved the TIFF to aRGB because you applied it.
I understand it never does anything to the original RAW file.
Second reset the default workspace to aRGB and force to open checked. Reopen the same RAW file and simply save as tiff with embed profile checked.
Yep, color profile always gets "baked in" when you save to TIFF. Same with Photoshop and when you convert the TIFF to another profile then thinks get lost. Here you saved to TIFF to sRGB (the original color profile that was in the NEF instruction).
Not when you have "Use this instead of embeded profile" checked. The saved TIFF is aRGB not sRGB. With this unchecked it ignores the default color space setting and goes with what is embeded in the file. The working space and the saved file will be whatever was embeded.
Now open both images in photoshop. When I did this they do not look the same even though they show the same profile embeded. Use the color picker on a specific spot, the colors aren't the same in the two images. But they should be exactly the same if apply profile after the RAW file has been opened in CNX2 does the same thing as forcing a profile application as the RAW is being opened.
Now I see what your doing. It wasn't clear before. I think the forcing open (in the second case above) doesn't actually change the profile saved. It only sets the working space color profile used and when you save the TIFF it saves in the original color profile that was used in the NEF. To change the profile in the TIFF from the one set in the original NEF...you have to use the Color Profile panel and apply it before saving.
At least on my machine this isn't how it works. Please go -test this yourself- exactly as I described before we discuss this any more.
Have the "use this instead of embeded" checked in both cases with sRGB working space set for the first, open a RAW file, apply aRGB and save as tiff named "apply.tiff". Close the image. Set in preferences aRGB color space, "use instead of embeded" checked, open the same RAW file and simply save as "open.tiff". They will both be aRGB images now.
When I open them in photoshop, yes they -both- are aRGB images but don't look the same at all. The one I opened with aRGB looks "normal", the one I applied aRGB to looks blown out and strange.
