CPU Preview Forced when Apple Wide Color images placed
Bug:
- Place a linked image into an illustrator file that has a color profile of "Apple Wide Color Sharing Profile"
- Note that the preview mode switches to "CPU" and you are unable to switch back.
- Restarting Illustrator has no positive effect.
Workaround:
- Change the color profile of the placed image to something else like "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and restart Illustrator.
Expected Behaviour:
- Placing an image of any color profile does not change the view mode - - OR - - Illustrator should warn the user that the incoming image contains a color profile that Illustrator will have to adapt to manage, allowing the user to make an informed choice.
My setup:
- Illustrator 29.2
- Mac OS 15.1.1
- Macbook M4 Pro Max, 64GB RAM, 2TB SSD
