(My apologies if this message comes across twice: I originally sent it a
couple of days ago from the wrong account, so it got held for moderation
and hasn't made it through yet. Hopefully the moderator will reject the
original. Also, I'm a new subscriber to this list but I did check the
archives before composing this message; hopefully I'm not asking
something that was answered just recently.)
I would like to embed an ICC profile in a number of images from my
digital camera. I am on Mac OS X 10.1.5. I already have a backlog of
images, so I can't simply do this via ImageCapture (which lets you embed
a profile at download time), and I prefer not to use ImageCapture for
downloading the images anyway, for a couple of reasons (nor iPhoto,
which doesn't appear to have a corresponding preference anyway).
I do not have (nor am I likely to get) Photoshop, which I understand
would let me do this. There are ColorSync Applescripts in
/Library/ColorSync/Scripts, but none of the ones which claim to embed
profiles work for me (I've tried on a couple of machines) - after some
tweaking and abject failure, I wonder if the ColorSyncScripting app that
these scripts use simply doesn't actually support embedding, or perhaps
is broken in that respect.
Does anyone know of a free or fairly inexpensive app that does this
non-destructively (without having to decode and re-encode a JPEG)?
Alternatively, anyone know any trick perhaps that I'm overlooking, which
would make the supplied Applescripts work?
I'm also willing (and somewhat interesting in) to write (some amount of)
code to do this, but the only thing in Cocoa I could find required
decoding the image, which I don't want to do as that ages my lossy JPEGs
another generation, and I'm under the impression that this shouldn't be
required in general (perhaps I'm wrong). I also couldn't find what I was
looking for in the Core, ColorSync or Carbon frameworks, although there
was certainly some related stuff and I may simply have not been smart
enough to recognize what I needed (I couldn't find any appropriate
example code).
Anyone have any help for me? Thanks.
