06. Now if you press Ctrl + Shift + F9 and look in your history tab you’ll notice the action ‘Convert to Profile’ has been performed. (Seeing as you had already performed Convert to Profile on this photo to record the action – it has already been converted so either go back a few steps in your history (prior to convert to…) or open a new photo and then Ctrl + Shift + F9 then check the history to make sure Convert to Profile has been performed)
