Don't know what to set Assign Profile and Convert to Profile to in CC2020

Sorry, I know this has been addressed, but after reading the first post, the rest disappeared and I can't find them again.... I just purchased a new computer (Windows 10) and upgraded from CS6 to CC 2020. I have had things printing properly for years. Unfortunately I did not keep track of the two above mentioned settings from Windows 7 and CS6. I know how to calibrate my screen and how to turn off color management and select my paper profile when printing with my Epson P600 printer. I let Photoshop manage colors with a paper profile. I don't remember what I am supposed to do the the above mentioned settings. I shoot in sRGB on my cameras. Can someone give me a quick refresher on these two settings. I do all of my own printing, never send anything out. Thanks.

** everything applies to Photoshop 2020

An image file is composed of records containing numbers. A profile determines how these numbers are represented as colors.

 

When you "Assign" a profile, the numbers are unchanged but their interpretation is updated. When you "Convert", the numbers are changed so that the colors are essentially the same as with the old profile.

 

For example, I "Assign" a profile derived through a calibration process. Then I "Convert" the image to a standard color space (e.g., sRGB) so that others who probably don't have my customized profile can see the image as I intend. I normally work in ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB, then "Convert" images to sRGB for web use, printing or general distribution.

Thanks you so much. This did the trick. I did understand this stuff when setting up my last computer nearly 10 years ago, but didn't store the info anywhere.

.Occasionally I get an image file which does not have an embedded color space. These are usually sRGB, which is the default for many non-professional sources. To be sure, you can "Assign" various color spaces in Photoshop. The correct one causes little or no change in color. That done, you can work freely with the file in color-managed software.
