I have Adobe CS5 on my old macbook, and Adobe CS6 on my iMac (yeah, I know, it's time I invested to CC).
Anyway, I've always been able to use files between the two and never had much of an issue until a recently.
I have used a file on both machines as a workspace to create pixel art and then drop those layers into a new file as needed.
However, when try to paste a layer into a new file iit tells me the color profiles do not match and I get color noise which is no good for pixel art!
The weird thing is both files have the same color profiles:
sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Generic RGB
Both files are set to RGB mode, but the new files I create have an asterisk (Layer x, RGB/8*) in the header, whereas the source file does not.
This is absolutely killing me because I need to transfer layers out of this file but now I can't without redoing the pixel art.
Any ideas what's wrong or solutions that could help? Do the color profiles differ between versions of PS?
I have just found the answer after fishing around the forums, sorry I didn't find a related topic on my initial search so created a new thread.
Even though the Color mode was set to RGB on both, when I went to Edit> Convert to Profile in the destination file for some reason CMYK was selected for destination space. I changed it back to sRGB and now I can drop layers between the files no problem.
And I learnt something in the process! Thanks.

Please set the status bar to indicate »Document Profile« and post a screenshot of both images open as non-tabbed windows.

The asterisk indicates unsaved changes.

Convert to Profile should not be relevant for moving Layers between files, issues arising there should be governed by the settings in Edit > Colour Settings.
