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 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.
You can find the full article here:

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 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.

PSE 11 - How save image with printer color profile?

I use an outside service to make prints. How can I save an image in PSE 11 in either TIFF or JPEG format with the color profile for the outside lab's printer? Thanks.

You can print a photo using the correct printer profile for the lab printer. In the print dialog box , go to "Page Option>Color Management" and then choose Color Handling as "Photoshop Managers color". Now click the printer profile dropdown and choose the profile for your lab printer. If you are not able to find the profile for you printer then choose "Printer Manages Color"
To your second question the answer is that you cannot save the image with the correct colors for printing. You can only convert the profile of your image to Adobe RGB which matches gamut of most printer profiles using "Image Menu>Convert Color Profile and choose Adobe RGB.

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«?

How to assign a specific color profile to an image?

I am in the process of submitting an image electronically.
They want me to submit images that have the color profile "ISO Coated v2 ECI".
My image has the color profile "Adobe RGB (1998)", according to File Info, and according to Preview.
I have downloaded the color profile from eci.org and put them in /Library/Color Sync/Profiles.
When I open the image in ColorSync Utility, I can see the profile under 'Profiles'.
However, when I try to assign or match or apply the profile to the image in ColorSync, it does not "stick".
With 'Match to Profile', I can select the profile (in the dropdown menu under 'Output'). But when I then save the image (using Save, Save As.., or Export..) it seems like it does not put that profile in the image, i.e., when I open the new image using Preview, I still get the "Adobe RGB (1998)" profile.
Same with 'Apply Profile'.
With "Assign profile", the profile I want is greyed out.
I also tried Pixelmator, but that does not offer me the profile "ISO Coated v2 ECI".
Am I missing something?
Could some kind soul please shed some light on this?
Or point me to the right web page or forum?
All insights and suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Thanks for your response.
But, first of all, the profile I want to "set" is not in that list in Preview.
Second, I believe now that I don't need to just *assign* the profile, I need to *match* the image to it (the profile is an output profile).

How can I copy and paste a caption for several pictures that are all the same?

I'm trying to understand the process of importing, labeling and organizing pictures I'm importing from my iPhone into iPhoto 11.
So far I am importing only pictures that relate to one another; ie taken at the same event. I have 18 pictures from one hike. I'd like to label each of those pictures the same; ie "hike at Bear Creak 2/15." Can I copy and paste the same label to all 18 pictures? How would I copy and paste?
There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject of iPhoto and that's how I learn best. If you know of a really basic one to watch I'd appreciate it.
I think I have to take a class at the Apple Store on this basic organizing because it's really escaped me in the 9 months I've had this Mac (switched from PC.)
Thanks,
Ginny

Ginny,
select all 18 photos at once in iPhoto on your Mac and then use the menu entry "Photos > Batch Change"
That will change the titles or descriptions of all photos at once.

[web gallery] how to define the export color profile

Hello,
I'm currently working on a web gallery template wich will create both web size and full size images. It will allows my clients to directly download the images they want for their article, and save me a lot of time for the uploading process.
This step is done. I've found in other web templates how to do the multiple sizes. You can have an example here: http://nack.ch/series/biscuits/index.html
But as I often work for press, I'd like to be able to export my images in a profile like ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB instead of sRGB. Is there a way to do that?
I suspect there should be a photoSizes.*. function that I have to insert in my galleryInfo.lrweb, but I didn't found a listing of the different parameters we can set for web galleries.
Have you any idea to solve this problem or at least where I could find any information about that?
Best regards
Niels

Sorry, there is no way to do this in the 2.x SDK.
We'll keep your request in mind for a future version.

How do I solve my color profile problem?

When I load photoshop cc I get a message 'The monitor profile 'Samsung Natural Color Pro 1.0 ICM' appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software'. The monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster 2032BW which worked fine with my previous cs3 version of Photoshop. There doesn't appear to be any updates either for the 2032BW monitor on the Samsung site. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I will post some screen shots later.
I have tried the iTunes username and password but it does not accept these.
It is apparently a well known problem in the UK and Apple are also aware of it although they aren't doing much about it - apparently there is to be a 'fix' in the next update? Not sure, in the meantime, I've been unable to connect to my home broadband for 4months!
As I said, none of my other devices, iPod Touch/MacBook/iPad, have this problem. Just the iPhone 5.
Thank you for your comments so far...screen shots to follow later.

Is there a way to embed a color profile when using Generate Assets?

I'm searching everywhere for a command to embed the profile to my images output with Generator and i'm not having any luck. Does someone know if this is possible? So far, my only work around is to script Assign Profile, but doing that with thousands of png's is taking way too long. Please tell me there's a simple bit of syntax i can add to my folder names.
thanks!

Thanks so much for the response, Chris.
Hopefully a future update will include this additional bit of code.

How to list third-party color profiles

I just installed the drivers for an Epson 4900. The new profiles don't show up in the color management in the print module. I'm using a Mac with mountain lion.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

can you open colorsync utility (just type ColorSync in the little hourglass on the upper right of your screen)? Find the Epson profiles. They should be in the "Other" tab in /Library/Printers/Epson. Then select one of the profiles and report what it says in "Space". For the profile to work in Lightroom, it should say "RGB" instead of "CMYK". Most of the Epson printers provide RGB profiles, so they should work. If they are RGB, you might have to restart Lightroom for them to show up in "Other"

How do i add printer color profiles

I am trying to add some printer codes for photo printer on printing services. I have the Icc profile but cant add them?

Hi,
I think you can find the profiles in:
/Users/<username>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles or
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
You can delete the profiles as all other files.
Oh, you can use the ColorSync- Utility to. Klik on Devices and click on a profile to see its location.
