# Assign a color profile to a bitmap

Replaces the embedded color profile of an image with a new one.

## Instruction

Sets the embedded color profile of an image to sRGB and saves it.

## Code Snippet

```csharp
using (var bitmap = new Bitmap("Chicago.jpg"))
{
    bitmap.ColorProfile = ColorProfile.FromSrgb();

    bitmap.Save("SetEmbeddedProfile.jpg");
}
```

## Explanation

The following code:

- Loads the image (`Chicago.jpg`).
- Assigns the embedded color profile to the image using `ColorProfile.FromSrgb()`.
- Saves the image (`SetEmbeddedProfile.jpg`) with the newly set embedded sRGB color profile.
