Color profile script

Is it possible to create a script that goes through a folder, and changes every .png file to use sRGB as color profile?
Edit:
To further describe my problem- I use a application that decrypt apples .png files so that they can be read in photoshop. But for some reason this script flips the blue and red channels too, making the colors messed up when i save a file.
So basically, i need a script that opens every png file, and converts their color profile from sBGR to sRGB and then saves them.
I already have a script that can convert PSD's to PNG's, but it does not edit the color profile, so if it could be edited to do that (And possibly also edit .png files) that would be awesome. the script:
#target photoshop
var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select top folder to process");
var folderList=[];
if (imageFolder != null)  {
processFolder(imageFolder);
folderList.unshift(imageFolder);
createPNGfromPDF(folderList);
function createPNGfromPDF(folderList){
for(var a in folderList){
  var fileList = folderList[a].getFiles ("*.psd");
   for (var z in fileList){
    var file = fileList[z];
    open(file);
    var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var saveFile = File(decodeURI(fileList[z].path+"/"+Name+".png"));
    SavePNG(saveFile);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function processFolder(folder) {
    var fileList = folder.getFiles()
     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        var file = fileList[i];
if (file instanceof Folder) {
  folderList.push(file); 
       processFolder(file);
function SavePNG(saveFile){
    pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
    pngSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    pngSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
    pngSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    pngSaveOptions.quality = 1;
pngSaveOptions.PNG8 = false;
    pngSaveOptions.transparency = true;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);

convertProfile (destinationProfile, intent [, blackPointCompensation] [, dither])
That is the javascript syntax of the line you would need to add to your script. The square bracketed parameters are optional the other are required. You need to supply the color profile and intent prams.  If you want to use scripting you need to learn a bit about programming in a scripting language javascript is the best choice for there a version for both the MAC and PC Windows platforms.  There are many script you can download and HACK on then.  Without some knowledge you will not be able to hack. If your do not have the time to read and gain the required khowledge you may want to look into Photoshop  Actions they are much easier to record and edit. It would be very easy to record an action to convert an image to the sRGB color space. The action could then be batched. The file>Automat>Batch... Will open a dialog thtat you use to point to your png folder the action set and action and thers is an option to save and close  them.
A one step action can do what you want. Record ment Edit>Convert to Profile.  In the Convert to Profile dialod use the destination space  pull-down meny and choose sRGB then click OK.  When you play the action no dialog will be displayed the document will just ne converted to the sRGB color space. Batch that Action.
If you know nothing about actions either my crafting actions package may be of some help.

  • Monitor color profile, fast switch script

    Hi everyone,
    I often switch between two monitor color profile, the default one "LED Cinema Display" and the calibrated one, named with the date of calibration (ex:"22June2011").
    Is there a way to fast switch between this two with a script, without entering in monitor preferences and move to color tab every time? Maybe set an icon on the menu bar... Or an icon on the dock...
    Thanks,
    Filippo

    More important, the question is not about color management, is about scripting.
    Otherwise we're just wasting words, that doesn't seem the right place to speak about profiling...
    Do you want help or not? What you're asking has everything to do profiling and color management. You're going about the use of profiles for your monitor completely wrong.
    Any profile is an image of how that, and only that device displays, captures or reproduces color. The only monitor profile that makes any difference is one you create. Since you're using i1Profiler, then you must be using an i1 Pro to profile the monitor.
    The monitor profile you made with i1Profiler is the only one you should be using. It is an exact description of the white point, black point, gamut and color range of the monitor you are looking at. The canned profile has nothing to do with the monitor in front of you. It's a generic average that is just short of completely useless since it is not a direct description of the monitor you own. Forget the "LED Cinema Display" profile, or any other canned profile on the system.
    I can only assume you're trying to simulate CMYK color in Photoshop. To do that, your start with the monitor profile you have. To create a meaningful CMYK simulation, you need to create your own inks file to use as your CMYK color space in Photoshop.

  • IWeb 08 screws my photos color profile

    Anyone has this problem with the new iWeb 08?
    I installed the new version, ran it without any problems, did some rearranging of my site, created a new page etc.. And then published the whole site all over again.
    But now, all my images are tagged with the sRGB profile instead of the profile that was in the images.. now all my images have become very saturated and dark. The thumbnails are fine, but when you click in to see the photos in slideshow or not, the images are loaded and it looks horrible.
    I've went into my iDisk to check the images and found that all my photos are tagged with the sRGB profile instead of my normal AdobeRGB profile or Nikon sRGB profile or no profile...
    ARGH!!!!

    iWEB 08 is a fully color confused application, whilst iPhoto is only partly color confused.
    The following applies when dragging images from iPhoto library, with the "Optimize Images on Import" option on. According to the manual, this option only changes the size, but I would not be surprised if it changes something else also. Then after, exporting from iWEB to files on the hard drive.
    Having spent 8 hours analyzing the problem, I am beginning to understand what is happening but certainly not WHY???
    iWEB appear to convert the images 2 times (when importing and when exporting I wonder), both times incorrectly, and to top it off, it exports images without a color profile BUT with the EXIF data of the original, which at this point is incorrect. HOWEVER, it appears that thumbnails are only converted incorrectly once, adding to the confusion.
    Before going into some remedies let me answer the question: What color space etc. is "correct" for the WEB?
    There are three rules to publishing photos on the WEB (files for download is a different story):
    a) Image, including thumbnails should be in sRGB color space (Otherwise it will NOT display correctly on MicroSoft systems, where browsers happily ignores color profiles and sRGB is ASSUMED for all images)
    b) There should be an sRGB color profile in the image file, including thumbnails (Otherwise it will NOT display correctly on MacOS, where browsers assume AppleRGB, but will happily adjust to any color profile)
    c) Discard unnecessary information in the file to reduce size, such as EXIF information, thumbnails etc (optional rule)
    Having said that, you may ask yourself, who do that? Well to tell the truth, not many. A quick check on Apples website reveals that there is a mix of color "strategies". For instance, the pictures demonstrating the cool features of iLife08, appear to be in sRGB but without color profile. Thus, they will be displayed correctly on a MicroSoft system but not on a Mac.
    Well, back to iWEB - To try to fix the color problem, do one or both of the following:
    1) Keep calling Apple Cupertino until they fix the problem (really, I am not joking, I am tired)
    2) Convert images after they have been exported. This seems to work also, almost. However, converting a pictures color space is not exactly reversible, thus result is not perfect. Use for instance Photoshop CS1 or later (make sure color settings is such that there are no conversions when you open files and use the colorimetric conversion option in advanced settings) and:
    a) Open picture
    b) Assign AppleRGB profile
    c) Convert to sRGB
    d) Assign the original profile (usually sRGB or AdobeRGB or the cameras RGB)
    e) Convert to sRGB
    f) Save (with option: include color profile)
    File is now about 2 times the original
    g) Open graphics converter
    h) Choose convert...
    i) Choose file(s), hold Cmd-key and choose remove resources (which does not remove the color profile)
    File is now ok for publishing on the WEB
    TIP, if it seems like a daunting task to manually convert all of the exported images (and do not forget the thumbnails), make an Action-script in Photoshop, then use the Batch feature with sub-folders etc .... . Also the graphics converter operation can be applied to include subfolders. I did this, and it works ok, but be sure to only convert YOUR images, not the other files in the structure. I also applied the same conversion to the thumbnails to simpify things and it turned out not to bad. (Can somebody make an AppleScript maybe?)
    And finally, how about iPhoto? Well, iPhoto will always export images in the color space and profile it happens to be imported with, unless you edit the image in some external editor. If you are WEB publishing "lucky", the image will come out in sRGB color space and with an sRGB color profile. And yes, I have also tried various iPhoto-WEB export plug-ins, and they also all do it wrong.
    If you read all of this, you are a patient person. Thanks for the attention.

  • Remove color profile from an image

    How to remove color profile from an image is it possible through any script?
    Manual Try - Don't Color Manage this Document: option is used to instruct Photoshop to remove an existing embedded profile but when I save the file, close and open it I still see a color profile in the embedded image.

    On the mac you could have sips do this (it may depend on the file type). You would loose the files creator if Photoshop was its last editor though.

  • Color Profiles visible in a pallete/panel, like in Photoshop?

    Is it possible to view your InDesign document's current color profile? I can see the profile in Photoshop (Info Panel) and in Illustrator (Document Info Panel) but not in InDesign. Is there an easy way to view the profiles of a placed document in any of the panels?
    Thanks a lot!

    To view a placed file's profile in ID's info palette you have to select the placed file with the direct selection tool (don't select the frame holding the file). If the placed art has no profile you will see the ID doc's profile (which is assigned to untagged placed files).
    To view the ID doc's profiles you have to choose Edit>Assign Profiles...
    You could also view the InDesign document's profiles via scripting. Save this AppleScript in your scripts folder and assign a key command to it:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
    set myDocument to active document
    set rgbprof to RGB profile of myDocument
    set cmykprof to CMYK profile of myDocument
    if rgbprof is "" then
    set rgbprof to "None (Color Settings Working RGB Space)"
    end if
    if cmykprof is "" then
    set cmykprof to "None (Color Settings Working CMYK Space)"
    end if
    display dialog "Documents CMYK profile is: " & return & cmykprof & return & return & "Documents RGB profile is: " & return & rgbprof

  • How can I check the color profile for the current document?

    I'd like to create a script that checks the current document's color profile and checks it against a string, for example "sRGB IEC61966-2.1". My studio has a script that performs various functions to make sure that all the layers are visible/unlocked, checks for stray points, etc., and we'd like to add a check to the color profile because we handle a large number of files and this setting is overlooked a lot.
    It's alright if this value isn't writable through script (we can just pop up an alert letting the user know that they need to change it), but I can't find where to actually read this setting! We're currently working on Macs and with JavaScript, but any nudge in the right direction would be great.
    Thanks!

    The Annoyance Factor. The idea was to add the color profile check once an illustrator is finished with a particular file as a kind of "clean up" before they save and move on to something else. My options as of right now are:
    Create a script that saves the file in Illustrator and then closes the document, opens Photoshop if it wasn't open already (wait to load), opens the file in Photoshop (wait to load), change the color profile, and save (wait for the extra save).
    Create a script that pops up an alert that says, "Check that your color profile is set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1". And the illustrator will check, save the file, and move on.
    We have close to 30 people working on several files every day so wasting all that time waiting for files to load and save in a different application adds up in man-hours pretty quick. In this particular case, getting our people to do it is more efficient.

  • How do I Batch change color profiles in CS4?

    I need to change color profiles on hundreds of photos at a time. CS4 does not give me that option it seems, only lame options i'll never use

    Probably easiest would be recording an Action of a conversion and running that with File – Scripts – Image Processor; Batch or Droplets are other ways of using an Action.
    Scripting would be another option.
    Which options exactly do You mean with »lame options«?

  • ColorChecker Passport-Color Profiles

    Hi there,
    I am photographing paintings with Elinchrom flashes with an even light and I use the ColorChecker Passport from X-Rite to keep a reference in order to match the colors.
    Till now, I've been using the software DNG profile manager, provided with the ColorChecker Passport from X-Rite, which creates a camera profile that should be helpfull to get the right color. Once I've applied the new camera profile (after restarting lightroom), I do the white balance. It's recommended on the X-Rite tutorial to use the target number 20 called "neutral 8" to do the white balance. I've also tried the target 22 called "neutral 5", and it seems to get slightly better results.
    I've noticed that even creating a color profile and doing the white balance the colors don't match. I am using a mac laptop screen that I calibrate quite often, which is not very helpful for obvious reasons, but that helps to keep track of the general look of the image, so that's why I keep the color adjustment to the RGB numbers.
    I've downloaded the following PDF; here there is some information about the RGB values of various ColorChekers:
    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babelcol or.com%2Fdownload%2FRGB%2520Coordinates%2520of%2520the%2520Macbeth%2520ColorChecker.pdf&rc t=j&q=ColorChecker%20rgb%20values&ei=wOCdTbG7NIyDhQelj5G8BA&usg=AFQjCNGj3wUpWC_uMxgMCeR3GI yN7kDU0A&sig2=mPf1grSAULxyMs_SanYVNw&cad=rja
    Using these values and a selective color layer in photoshop I get close to the real colors, although it is not good enough.
    My questions are:
    1-Does anybody know the ColorChecker Passport RGB (Adobe 98) values?
    2-I've tried to use the DNG profile editor because it seems a precise tool for this, but it doesn't recognise the 5D Mark II files. Is it because this application hasn't been updated? It also seems to work only with 6500K or 2850K, which is not the case of the Elincrhom 600 monoblocks I am using (which I think are around 5000K.
    3-Could anybody recommend a workflow that's better to match the colors?
    I have more questions, but I think these three are a good start.
    Thanks!

    Here are color-error analysis plots for several camera calibrations using the fine-art color-checker calibration shot uploaded, earlier.
    The three profiles tested were:
    1)  A custom Elinchrom Flash profile I created from the color-checker using the DNG Profile Editor,
    2)  The Adobe Standard camera profile,
    3)  The custom profile provided by Gustov.
    My general comment would be that the Adobe Standard profile has about the same error as the custom profile I computed using the DNG Profile Editor but the Adobe profile has a more even distribution of the color error.
    The profile Gustov provided seems to be very close in the yellow area, but quite far off in the reds, blues, and violets. This can also be seen as a severe shift toward the green of the WB Tint slider value when the profile is selected for the As Shot WB as compared to the almost zero value when using the Adobe Standard profile.
    These color-error plots were created using the ColorCheck module of Imatest Studio 3.7 from www.imatest.com.  The program compares the measured color values from a color-checker image to the standard color numbers of the Color Checker then plots the difference on a CIE chromicity diagram, where the squares are the standard color position, the circles are the measured color position, and length of line in between is the color-error.  In general, error in-and-out from the center is saturation error, while error around the center is hue error.  In a 3D plot luminance error is also shown but harder to visualize without a way to rotate the plot around.  Imatest provides this visualization in its Multicharts module.
    I used the ProPhotoRGB colorspace when saving the TIF out of ACR because the standard ProPhotoRGB color-checker numbers in Imatest are for D50 lighting whereas the AdobeRGB standard numbers are for D65 lighting.  As the image-filenames suggest, I used a linear toning curve and a black-point of 0 when saving out of ACR, but left the brightness at 50 and the contrast at 25.  I tried zeroing out the brightness and contrast or using the Medium Contrast toning curve but things were way off.  Using a blackpoint of 0 instead of the default of 5 also made things slightly better.  There are scripts that can compute the optimal toning values for the gray patches but I was only comparing profiles, not trying to optimize them completely.

  • Quick Color Profile Switching? Applescript or Widget Available?

    This question could really be on some other forums ...
    We edit a lot of pictures professionally on our iMac, but we also use it for real life. Our calibrated color profile is not as "pretty" as the regular iMac color profile, but jumping into system preferences every time to switch the profile back and forth gets annoying.
    Is there a widget or a script that we could download that will quickly switch our color profile one or two clicks?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried just not switching? Your eyes do adjust to a particular profile after a while and it looks fine. I know what you mean--when I have another mac with those bright bluish whites next to my profiled mac, mine looks dull and dingy, but after a whle without looking at a different profile you don't see that anymore.
    (there's a utility called gamma toggle that lets you switch gamma settings from the menubar, but I don't know of a fast profile switcher offhand)

  • Ordering Prints Online with Embedded Color Profiles

    Problem: I have imported about 100 photos into iPhoto (7.1.1) that have embedded ProPhoto RGB profiles. When Ordering Prints (from Apple/Kodak) online, the prints delivered were horribly desaturated. After research, discovered that the ProPhoto RGB (which is really high-end professional color space, even bigger than Adobe RGB) is not compatible with sRGB printing services. Essentially, sRGB is a much smaller color space and color is lost in process. What's the best way to resolve this?

    Ruzicka:
    There's an AppleScript to embed the color profile of your choice in selected files. I've modified it to embed the sRGB profile it's available at Toad's Cellar. It's the Applescript version, not the automator version. The automator version adds some jpeg compression in it's process. The script method does not.
    Or, you could use Photoshop and create an action to batch convert the files to the sRGB profile. I've used PS but not the batch process. GraphicConverter may be be able to convert them but I've not used it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • LR 4.4 D7100 color profile not accurate

    I have been unhappy with the colors from raws on my new D7100. It's bad enough it has banding and color cast issues within dark shadows but today I decided to do a test against my D90 and ViewNX and the results conclude what I have been seeing. There is too much yellow and a lack of magenta in the converted raws with LR. Here is an example. I'm considering sending it back until this is resolved. Copy and paste the link into your browse I can't seem to be able to paste a working copy of it into this post. I remember when I first got my D80 how bad the color profile was, I had to shoot Jpegs for highend kitchens because I couldn't get the wood tones to look correct. Eventually the profile got updated.

    You make a camera profile by taking a picture of an XRite Color Checker, either classic or pocket sized, standard color target and feeding a DNG of that into either the Adobe DNG Profile Editor or XRite’s Passport software.
    You can make a dual-illuminate profile, using a pair of 2600K and 6500K WB images, or you can make single-illuminant ones that work mainly for one lighting situation, studio shots at a fixed location.  I have a dual-illuminant one and several single-illuminant ones for when the Tint is quite a bit different than zero or the lighting has an uneven spectrum or is extreme—arena lighting, fluorescent, mercury-vapor, sodium-vapor.   The profiles made this way tend to produce saturated colors and do not have the hue-twists built into them like those made from Adobe.
    You can also use something like Imatest to check how accurate the colors are.

    I have both a CCPP and a CCC and use the CCPP more but that’s because I’m usually doing outdoor nature photography.  The CCC is larger and easier for someone to hold in a portrait or modeling situation:
    Imatest is made for measuring all sorts of optical system characteristics.  I have the least expensive version and mainly just use the Color Check module of it.

    You can also test color accuracy via free Photoshop scripts written by Rags-Gardner for use with various test charts:
    http://www.rags-int-inc.com/PhotoTechStuff/ColorCalibration/
    R-G also has scripts that compute the optimum Hue/Sat slider values under the Camera Calibration area—this is how calibration was done before the DNG Profile Editor was created a few years ago.  The DPE and the sliders work on different parts of the color matrices so you can do them both if you want.

  • How to get a color profile stored in a user library from within Photoshop CS5

    Hi!
    I have a specific color profile that I want to load int PS CS5 color settings. I've placed it into my user library/application support/adobe/color/settings folder and all was good. Now i'm in PS and can't find the user library to load the settings. (Interestingly enough, I have no problem getting into the system library. Go figure) Any ideas?
    -Marcia

    Apple has hidden ~/Library starting with Lion. You can put Adobe Color Settings files, *.csf, into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings instead of the user folder; and ICC profiles belong in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles.
    Or you can unhide ~/Library with this command in Terminal:
    sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library/

  • How do I export a file with a CMYK color profile in Lightroom?

    I'm trying to save a photo with a CMYK color profile to send to a company who will print it for me. I've looked at the color profiles installed on my computer, and quite a few CMYK profiles appear to be there (in   /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended). I'm not sure if they need to be in the "Profiles" folder specifically, or if it matters that they're in a subfolder of that folder. This is on a Mac computer, by the way.
    The problem is, when I go to export in Lightroom, and I choose "Other" in Color Profile, I'm not given any of the CMYK options.
    Thanks for your help!

    Above and beyond what Jeff and John have told you, be VERY careful converting RGB to CMYK unless you have the specific ICC profile for that print provider. Probably a lot safer to send them tagged RGB and let them convert the data. Converting with a profile that isn't specifically targeted for the print process will produce huge headache's for you and the shop and potentially awful output which is going to be expensive. Ask them if they can accept RGB and send them maybe sRGB which of course you can do from Lightroom.
