Depending on which OS you have, and provided you have Applescript
enabled, and assuming you are on a MAC, this little Applescript (Show
Profile Info) should provide you with the details of the embedded
profile in question. see attachment...
It may hang up for a minute or so, doesn't work with certain file
types (eps's, etc.,), ...but dandy with tiffs, jpegs, etc...
As for how you ended up where you are at, we(?) would probably need
to know more:
