How to convert sRGB images to CMYK retaining icc profiles?

I was given the follwoing info. but not sure it answers fully - it still doesn't resolve the problem of converting to CMYK with the icc profile. I think this might be an option if the profile is loaded into the colour setting (colour settings under edit menu as oposed to convert to profile and its convert to profile I have been trying to action. Am I missing something straightforward?
thanks!
you can do batch process in Photoshop

-There is a fast and easy method to batch convert many RGB photographs to CMYK files by using Photoshop
-Please open an image, then open the Action Tab (Window > Actions)
-Please click 'Create new action' button, name the action in the text field and click the 'Record' button.
-Now it is recording, so select 'Image > Mode > CMYK Color', then hit the 'Stop' button in the Action Tab.
-The action is now created ready for the next step.
-To batch convert a folder of images, just select 'File > Automate > Batch' and the following window opens.
-Choose the 'Convert RGB to CMYK' action from the drop-down list, choose the source folder where your images are stored, then choose a destination folder where Photoshop will save the converted images.
-Click the 'OK' button and the batch process will start. How fast will depend on the number of images that need converting.
-The action you created will be stored, so you only need to perform a new batch process the next time you need to convert a batch of images.

I think we may need a little more information to fully address your question or issue. sRGB and CMYK are two very different color spaces, and converting from one to the other requires significant shifts in color. Are you refering to a specific input or output icc profile?

How to convert a image layer to a text layer any idea? a image looks like a text in layers box

You can't convert an image into a text layer. What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text. Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer. Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

Converting image data to given ICC Profile?

I am considering using a pro printer to print my photos. On their site they provide ICC profiles for there printer which I can use to soft proof.
The site states
"Our Fuji 570 printer does not read embedded profiles, so the image data must be converted. This changes the data in the file to compensate for how our lab's machine actually prints colors."
Can anyone tell me how I should export from Aperture that converts the image rather than embedding the profile?
BTW I have a calibrated monitor and I am processing RAW files from my 400D.
Thanks.

Can anyone tell me how I should export from Aperture
that converts the image rather than embedding the
profile?
Make a new export preset that uses the provided ICC profile. Aperture will then convert to the chosen profile on export.

How to batch convert RGB images to CMYK

Hello,
Can anyone explain in a step-by-step way how to batch-convert many RGB images to CMYK?
Thanks in advance

If you do want to use Photoshop for the bact conversion there are a few ways, including Batch and Image Procesor under the File>Automate or File>Scripts of PS.
However, my preference is to use Russell Brown's script: Image Processsor Pro, via Bridge:
http://www.russellbrown.com/scripts.html
As similar one is Picture Processor:
http://www.scriptsrus.talktalk.net/
Both allow you to do multiple conversions simultaneously, to different sizes and file types, and running actions before or after the conversions.

CS2 Convert RGB Images to CMYK Within Illustrator

Hey everyone. I desparately need some help here. I designed a file in Illustator CS2 and my file had images within it. I took it to a professional printer and he said my images needed to be converted from RGB to CMYK to print properly. The printer had CS4 and he said to change the colours you click on Edit -> then Colours, which in turn allowed him to change the pictures format from RGB to CMYK. I only have CS2 and when he told me to select Edit and then Colours, well CS2 does not have that. It's something completely different.
If someone out there knows how to change the picture files from RGB to CMYK "within" Illustrator CS2 could you please tell me how as Adobe's phone support only deals with the most current version.
Any help you can provide me with, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Julie

>This is for my benefit as I have just purchased a colour laser printer and wanted to be able to print something proper like the professional printer.
Unless you have a PostScript RIP for your laser printer (a separate driver provided either by your printer manufacturer or a third party) you cannot proof CMYK documents directly. Lacking a PostScript RIP, you can still get a pretty good idea if you have Acrobat. Print to PDF using settings that convert to, say, sRGB... then, print that PDF document on your laser printer (using its native non-PostScript driver).
For your older documents, if your placed RGB images are embedded (rather than linked), you can try Philip's suggestion. It shouldn't matter, though. Illustrator should do the necessary space conversions at print-time.
If the images are linked, I would suggest you convert them to CMYK in Photoshop. I'm sorry, but I do not know of a way to do the same thing within Illustrator (v12 aka CS2).

Help converting RGB Images to CMYK?

I am working with a CMYK Freehand design, and it includes a
cut out image on top layer. The image is in RGB. When I export it,
I am getting a colour shift on the transparent areas.
Should I be working with a CMYK cut out image? If so, how do
I convert my RGB image to CMYK, keeping the transparent areas of
the cut out?
Help much appreciated (ASAP)
Regards
Geoff

How are you creating the transparent areas? Are you using an
alpha
channel in the bitmap? I stopped doing that when I noticed
color
shifting (even in grayscale reproduction) similar to what you
get when
using the raster effects. But I do miss using it because it
is
convenient and sets up nicely.

How to convert PNG image to Vertor Image to make font on Mac

Hi Mac People,
I like to create a set of font, and I have made them in a image editing tool, I have FontForge downloaded but decide to use it to convert instead direct design them inside.
So now I don't know how to convert the PNG image to vector image required by the FontForge, I read some post mentioned Ubuntu has utilities to convert, but I'm not sure OS X has that function too.
Could anyone let me know how to convert PNG so I can create my fonts?
If PNG can't, the software can export TIFF or jpeg or similar.
Please help me, I need make them this few day.
Thanks everyone for giving me a hand!

modify an AI file that a designer created for me. My apologies for the dumb

How to convert jpeg images into video file of any ext using JMF

any one can help me?
Plz reply me at [email protected]

I'm not sure of his/her reasoning behind this, but I have yet to find a way to record video with mmapi on j2me. So with that restriction, I can see how one could make it so that it just records a lot of jpegs, and then makes it a movie.
I would be interested finding a workaround for this too. Either if someone would explain how to record video with mmapi or how to make recorded images into a video. Thanks!
