Need to use just that AppleScript right now to convert a whole lot of images
using a DeviceLink profile I created in PMP 5 (CMYK->CMYK).
Questions:
Can you set up this script to batch convert a whole folder of images?
(Source profiles in all images are the same)
How does one know that the conversion worked?
I just tried to convert 1 image and when I go to open in Photoshop I get the
window that indicates the image has no embedded profile. Do I also have to
do a script to embed (destination of device link) device profile?
Again a way to batch embed a whole folder of images?
Should the Black channel in a Device Link CMYK to CMYK conversion maintain
the same percentage from source to destination?
I test converted a Kodak Grayscale Q13 using the Device Link profile and the
darkest patch shows a drop from 83% black (source) to 79% (destination).
