R_Kelly Jul 18, 2012 6:35 PM (in response to Ric Cohn)I believe that only works between color profiles and not different color modes.

I checked and you are right in that this is how PS CS6 is working. It is only giving a warning when both files are in the same color mode, but have different profiles.
However, PS never worked this way before.
Either this is a bug or a very bad change.

Are you sure? I tested on CS3 and there is no warning when past between Modes.

You would seem to be wrong.
I can only test for CS5 at current but the behaviour applies there, too.

Ric Cohn Jul 19, 2012 7:28 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)I only have CS6 available right now. Maybe I'm wrong. Seems like it used to warn me. Seems like it should.

So why claim
PS never worked this way before.
if you can’t verify it?

charles badland Jul 19, 2012 7:32 AM (in response to Ric Cohn)At some point I remember getting warning dialogs pasting RGB to Grayscale... But I can't remember what version it changed.

Yeah, my bad. I just tested in CS3. I guess I never thought about how weird this is. I get a warning going from CMYK 16 bit to RGB 8 bit, etc., but not between all profiles? Since when is 16 bit more of a profile than an embedded profile?
I guess this is just a long standing behavior that as far as I can see is inconsistent and bad.

Noel Carboni Jul 19, 2012 8:08 AM (in response to Ric Cohn)I think this is excellent fodder for an enhancement request. Seems to me if any conversion is to be done it ought to warn.

10. Re: CS6 "Ask When Pasting" not working?
charles badland Jul 19, 2012 8:25 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)I agree.
"Profile Mismatches - Ask When Pasting: When enabled, you will be notified whenever color profile mismatches occur as colors are imported into a document..."
Profiles of different Modes are mismatched. So the warning should appear if checked.

11. Re: CS6 "Ask When Pasting" not working?
Noel Carboni Jul 19, 2012 8:39 AM (in response to charles badland)It could probably even be legitimately called a bug...
By the way, dragging an image from Finder/Explorer/Bridge/etc. to an image in Photoshop is probably somewhat like a "File Open" operation as well as a paste. But I assume all the boxes are checked (that's the way I keep 'em as well).

13. Re: CS6 "Ask When Pasting" not working?
Noel Carboni Jul 19, 2012 9:47 AM (in response to charles badland)The dialog has two functions in this case - a warning, and a choice.
The dialog for a color mode conversion could just be a warning without the choice. The preference does mention being given the choice, but I think the key thing here is the warning. It's not like we don't have a way to avoid the warning (by unchecking the preference). The wording could be changed slightly in the Color Settings description to handle the possibility that you won't be asked - it's kind of silly to think the warning could be suppressed because it's not possible to ask the user to maintain the color numbers.
An example rewording:
Profile Mismatches - Ask When Pasting: When enabled, you will be notified whenever color profile mismatches occur as colors are imported into a document (via pasting, drag-and-drop, etc.0), and (where appropriate) given the option to override the policy's default mismatch behavior.

14. Re: CS6 "Ask When Pasting" not working?
c.pfaffenbichler Jul 19, 2012 11:21 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)To me is seems a legitimate choice that Color Mode mismatches »trump« Profile Mismatches and are therefore treated differently. (Whether that was indeed the original intention would be an interesting question.)
If a change should be implemented at the very least I think we should be able to turn off warnings for profile-mismatches in the same Mode and warnings for Mode mismatches separately.
