Embedded profile
From The Glossary of Digital Photography
Describes a color profile for an image that has been stored within the image itself. An embedded profile will enable software such as Photoshop to interpret the colors correctly in an image and display them properly. It is especially important to embed color profiles into images that are sent to others for future processing, output, or printing. Some web browsers are color-aware and can read embedded profiles.
