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«?

  • How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?

    How Can I add a color profile to OS X 10.8.4?
    I've tried to locate the color profile folder but it's not availble.

    Hello gipseyeyes,
    It sounds like you're trying to add a ColorSync Profile to your Mac.  I found a few resources that may help.
    First, I recommend reviewing the following article:
    Mac OS X: How to Create a ColorSync Profile Used By Every Account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22329
    The note in step 6 from that article is particularly useful for your situation:
    Note: You may need to make some of these folders if they do not exist.
    Also, the user Library in Mountain Lion is hidden, so you will need to follow these steps to get to "~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/":
    OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
    The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.

  • Aperture: How can I batch change one part of a file name

    I have a file name format for my motor sport pictures
    EventNameYear_CarNumber_ImageNumber
    I have just named 600+ images but after publishing the images, I spotted I put the event year as 2014 instead of 2015.
    How can I batch change the year but leave everything else the same? I've been through the batch change options but cannot work it out
    I am on Aperture 3.6, MacBook Pro on Yosemite 10.10.2
    Thanks

    So you renamed the versions in Aperture, the rename was not just done on the export?
    The names could be changed either in Aperture or on the exported files but as was noted it would require a script to do it. Doing the rename on the exported files would be the easiest, Applescript or possibly even Automator or any number of 3rd party apps could handle this rather easily. Name Mangler comes to mind as possibly being able to handle this.

  • How can I permanently change color of junk mail listing to black?

    How can I permanently change color of my junk mail listings? It is light brown and difficult to read.

    I'm trying to do the same...no problem choosing the color, but when I used an advanced rule, I no longer have the option in a drop down menu to "erase junk mail". Seems like any combination of an advanced junk mail rule wipes out the option to erase junk mail, and I don't want mail to automatically delete my junk email. I tried outting a stop evaluating after the text color, but that didn't work.

  • Batch change colorsync profile

    I have moved an iPhoto library from a PowerBook to an iMac. For all photos I had the Color LCD colorsync profile embedded, which looks good in the PowerBook but washed-out in the iMac. I now embed the sRGB profile for new pictures, but I would like to batch change the old ones. Snow Leopard has an Embed script that will change the profile. Would it be safe to show contents in the iPhoto Library and drag the folders containing the old photos onto the script? Apart from Modified and Originals do I need to do this for other folders?
    Many thanks
    George

    George:
    You could apply the new color profile to the original and modified files and iPhoto would see them when you opened iPhoto the next time. However, unless do you the same for the thumbnails the thumbnail will not display the sRGB profile while the original or modified will.
    Select an event to test on. The hardest part will be finding a modified version since the subfolder in the Modified folder will often be just have the date modified as the folder name. What you can do is convert the originals and thumbnails and then do a Revert to Original for all the photos and that will get rid of the modified files that weren't converted.
    NOTE: That's the only change/edit to photos you can made from the Finder to the contents of the iPhoto Library. Any other type of change/edit will mess up the library.

  • Changing color profile of untagged pictures

    How to change the estimated color profile of untagged pictures to sRGB/RGB, if color profile is Adobe RGB?
    In this way, you could have the advantages of (sometimes) wider color range and accurate colors in general.

    With an average monitor what you see on-screen is already soft proofed to sRGB (or something very close to it), because that's all the monitor is capable of displaying anyway. So soft proofing to sRGB won't tell you anything. You won't see any difference.
    In Photoshop it sounds as if you assign profiles. That's not the way to do it. If you convert correctly you won't see any difference. Same principle as above: there may be clipping in the process, but what you see on screen is already clipped, so no visual on-screen difference.
    With a wide gamut monitor soft proofing becomes slightly more useful. But still you won't see any changes occurring outside Adobe RGB. You'll get a better idea by keeping an eye on the histogram. Ideally, all three channels should taper gently off towards the endpoints. If any one or two channels are backed solidly up against the endpoint, on either side, that's gamut clipping.
    If Blurb gave you a real profile, one that reflected their actual printing process, you could soft proof to that. But apparently they don't.

  • How to make custom icc color profile work as default for all users?

    Hi!
    I've calibrated two monitors for the machine running Mavericks OS X. I've managed to move these custom icc color profiles to ColorSync folder in HDD Library, so that that they are available for all the users. However, I cannot figure out how to make these icc profiles work as default profiles for all users and not only the one I used to calibrate monitors.
    Is there a specific place I have to put custom icc profile to make it system default?
    Thank you!

    If you put the profiles in the root /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder, then each user needs to select them in their account. There isn't a way to apply them globally so each account automatically comes up that way.

  • How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

    My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
    IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
    also changes color.
    However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing. 
    I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
    other one comes to the foreground.
    I'm no sure how it's doing that. 
    Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
    Thank You
    Keith Aul
    Keith Aul

    The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
    sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
    It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
    For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
    If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.

  • Changing color profile in Lightroom 5 Soft Proofing from ProPhotoRGB to sRGB is not showing any changes, changes in Photoshop CC are dramatic

    I am working with  the color profile ProPhoto RGB in both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. In preparing for my first Blurb book I have tried to generate pictures in sRGB in Lightroom, using the Soft Proofing feature, but there are no changes at all. Then I transfer the same pictures into Photoshop, change the color profiles and the results are dramatically different.
    What can I do to achieve the same results in Lightroom

    With an average monitor what you see on-screen is already soft proofed to sRGB (or something very close to it), because that's all the monitor is capable of displaying anyway. So soft proofing to sRGB won't tell you anything. You won't see any difference.

  • Mountain Lion change color profile when use discrete video card

    MacBookPro mid 2010. Update Samsung SSD 830.
    Mountain Lion 10.8.2 just installed (new installation).
    Reset PRAM and SMC. Done. No result.
    Try with GfxCardStatus. No result.
    When the system uses the discrete video card changes the color profile.
    I'm not the only one with this problem.
    Someone managed to solve the problem (really)?
    I DO NOT ACCEPT COMMENTS OR ANSWERS USELESS.
    Sorry, but slightly altering after losing three hours in forums where no one ever answered ...
    Thanks.

    Let's see...
    Sounds like you're running into an expected issue if you make an alias to removeable media.  The same thing would happen if you made the alias to a folder on a DVD-R disc or CD-R.  If you eject the original, you disable the alias.
    If you copy the entire SD card volume to your drive, the PRIVATE package should copy across.  Then, as a folder on your hard drive rather than a volume on removeable media, you could make an alias to the STREAM package for quicker access later.
    I'm pretty sure that Handbrake, like Prmeiere Pro, can see the MTS files directly.  That is, it's not dependant on the other folders in the PRIVATE directory sturcture.  As such, you could copy the contents of the STREAM package to another folder on your drive.  Just be mindful of the default MTS file names if you're using more than one SD card (you don't want to accidentally copy 00001.MTS from one card over 00001.MTS from another card).
    As long as Handbrake sees MTS directly, you could even rename the MTS files after you've copied them.
    On a side note, I almost always archive my SD cards with the data structure intact.  More often than not, that file structure is important to corretly access the video stored within that structure.  If something unexpected happens while working with the MTS files, it is good to have the original file structure to go back to.  Although, SD cards are getting to be so low cost that sometimes I just label the SD card and store it for archiving.

  • Batch change color of existing highlights in a PDF (Acrobat X Pro)

    I'm trying to find a script or action that will batch change the color of some existing text highlights in a PDF.  The document shows the text being highlighted, but the highlight color is extremely light such that it is visable only with unnecessary effort.  Idealy, I'd like to create a script or action that would identify all of the highlights in the document and change their color to a more standard and visable yellow instead of the washed-out and barely visable yellow I have now.
    Thanks!
    Edit:  I'm using Acrobat X Pro in Windows.

    You can do this with JavaScript. Note that it could be a problem with the color or the opacity setting, or both. For more information, see:

  • 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 embed a color profile in an untagged picture that is displayed incorrectly as sRGB?

    I have a set of JPEGs that have been stripped of their color profiles (AdobeRGB). Lightroom assumes that they are sRGB images and displays them incorrectly. Is there any function in the program that will let me embed the correct (AdobeRGB) profile to the photos, preferably without re-compressing them?

    It looks like the developer of ExifTools GUI is no longer supporting it:
    http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/exiftool/forum/index.php?topic=5370.0
    I tried using an older ExifTools Gui v3.38 with the latest ExifTools v9.47 windows installer download and it works fine. It also does NOT recompress the image data when using the 'Import ICC/ICM Profile' tools. So there's no need to create TIFFs to change the profile on your JPEGs without altering the image data. Try it!
    I've uploaded a ZIP file, which contains a folder with everything you need. Download, unzip, and place the folder anywhere on your HDD. Copy and paste the shortcut 'ExifToolGUI 3.38 (ExifTools 9.47)' that's in the folder to your desktop. Nothing is installed – Exif GUI is a standalone app. If it doesn't open you may need to right-click on the shortcut and selct 'Run As Administrator.'

  • How do I load a color profile onto my CS3?

    My printer has requested that I work in CYMK, GRACol2006_coated1v2.icc color setting.  I can't find it on my list of profiles.  My printer has sent me the file.  How do I get it into my pull down list?
    Thanks in advance.

    Profiles need to be added via Windows's color management. Put the profile in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Driver\Color along where the other profiles are and it should show up as a printer profile. You can also put them in Adobe's color folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles.
