Hi Everybody,
I'm trying to reach Sharon Potts on these issues.
Wild guesses, speeches on the wonders of intergalactic color management, or personal opinions on EXIF data are of absolutely no use to anyone.
1. Photopaint discards the EXIF data upon SAVE. Who cares if someone here doesn't want it. Most serious photographers consider it to be sacred scriptures.
2. Photopaint doesn't read the profile embedded in a photo. It incorrectly embeds the default profile. It turns all the ICC color management into garbage. It's worse than all those terrible non-ICC compliant applications. Photopaint gives false information.
Just for the record, I tried it again with a photo from my Panasonic FZ50 camera. The correct color space for the photo is Adobe RGB (1998). Photopaint screwed it up. Photoshop got it right. Let me add that File > Documents also gives false information. Here's a copy of all the screen captures.HELLO HELLO, Is anybody home at Corel.
Phil this is the third time I ask you to send an image. I' can't help if you don't cooperate. Do you need access to an FTP process?
As I know right now with all the systems I service, you're then only person reporting this issue, so it needs to be tested.
This is what happens when I open images in PP X7. My default is Adobe RGB.
A grayscale with an embedded B/W with 20% dot gain profile:
This is the document properties after opening:
If I open an image with an embedded sRGB profile, I get:
And the document info:
If I open an image with an Adobe RGB profile embeded, it just opens and is correct. If I open an image without a profile it uses my default profile.

Like David, I am unconcerned about exif data. I do understand how many people use and even rely on it.
I reopened one of the images from above. Saved it is a PP CPT file. Exported it to a JPG. Opened that JPG in another image editor and it appears to me the exif is intact.
Like David asks, it would be good to obtain an image straight from your camera.
