How to tell if tif file has an embedded ICC color profile - KAE - 03-15-2018 I have a tif file created by a scanner, and I would like to tell whether or not it has an embedded ICC color profile. When I open the file in GIMP, under Image Properties > Color Profile it says 'sRGB builtin, Default RGB working space'. Does this mean (1) no color profile was embedded in the tif file so GIMP had to use its default, or (2) the sRGB color profile was embedded in the tif file? Or, if this is not a good way to tell, is there another way to tell whether or not the tif file has an embedded color profile? RE: How to tell if tif file has an embedded ICC color profile - rich2005 - 03-15-2018 What version of Gimp and what platform (Win, Linux...)? If there is a RGB profile it does show: https://i.imgur.com/3yhvu3H.jpg Could be no profile, or tif could be a CMYK image, Gimp then uses sRGB default Use some application such as XnViewMP which shows more than Gimp: https://i.imgur.com/EqmUjSr.jpg A CMYK image will show as CMYK. RE: How to tell if tif file has an embedded ICC color profile - KAE - 03-15-2018 I just upgraded to 2.9 because it supposedly lists more image metadata, and now Image Properties > Color Profile is listed as 'GIMP built-in sRGB. Manufacturer: GIMP. Copyright: Public Domain'. Does this mean that the tif file has no embedded ICC color profile, so GIMP filled in with its default? RE: How to tell if tif file has an embedded ICC color profile - rich2005 - 03-15-2018 If there is an embedded profile Gimp 2.9.9 will tell you when you open the image. Or the tiff might be CMYK. Gimp does not recognise the profile, applies sRGB check in the MetaData Viewer RE: How to tell if tif file has an embedded ICC color profile - KAE - 03-15-2018 Thanks! I think it is your first suggestion (no profile) rather than the second (CMYK) because another program identifies the tif file color space as RGB, and reads in the values as [numberRows x numberColumns x 3]. So I am all set.
