    Also, I notice that the ‘Format Settings’ dialogue box shown in Adobe's own help pages (https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/illustrator/using/collect-assets-export-for-screens.html#exported-assets) doesn’t match the one in the application itself. The online guide clearly shows the option to choose a specific colour model for the export on a format-by-format basis. The same dialogue in the application lacks any such options.

    Export For Screens is, clearly then, something of a chaotic mess, which is a shame because it's incredibly useful and something that, until I discovered that it was outputting only CMYK jpegs, I was using to generate a very large number of ‘screen usage’ conversions of spot colour logos. Other than laboriously converting all those jpegs to RGB in Photoshop I'm not sure what my workaround is (and even if I go down that route there's no guarantee that the RGB colour arrived at would be the same as converting direct from spot ink to RGB in a single step — that intermediate CMYK conversion during export might throw things off).

    Adobe: PLEASE FIX THIS.

    I too arrived here after googling for a solution to ‘Export For Screens’ seemingly having reverted to its old erroneous behaviour of exporting CMYK images from its ‘JPG 100’ setting. Also, although the lower-quality jpeg export settings — JPG 80, etc — DO create RGB images (as one would expect from a functions called ‘Export For Screens’), they also embed those images with CMYK profiles, which will cause Photoshop (for example) to ignore the profile and treat the image as untagged.

    This needs an urgent fix.

    (NB. this issue seems to have reappeared in Illustrator’s most recent update or so. Previously to that it was outputting jpegs as RGB images as expected (I say this because I have been using the same workflow and the same export presets to export a large number of CMYK/spot colour logo files for screen use over the last few weeks/months and it is only recently that the JPG 100 exports have suddenly started to appear as CMYK files).

  2. Illustrator does not embed a color profile when exporting artwork to PNG format
