copy icc_profile or insert one if doesn't exist

[redd]

Hi,
I'm trying to run a command line to copy all metas & icc_profile from file1 to file2,
and inserting a default *.icc if file1 doesn't have one.

So far, this is what I've got:

Code Select Expand

exiftool -overwrite_original -TagsFromFile file1 -all:all "-icc_profile-<= -icc_profile<=sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icc" file2

But this isn't working.

Would you have an idea ?

Thanks.

This should do what you want:

exiftool "-icc_profile<=sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icc" -tagsfromfile file1 -all:all -icc_profile file2

Since ICC_Profile is protected, you must specify it explicitly when copying.  If it exists in file1, then it will override the earlier assignment.

Thanks for your help, it works great.

And just out of curiosity, how would do with a single file, to add a default profile if none exists, I tried :

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-icc_profile<=sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icc" -if "not $profiledescription" file

or like the previous one with tagsfromfile, but within the same file

Code Select Expand

exiftool "-icc_profile<=sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icc" -tagsfromfile file -all:all -icc_profile file

With no success.

Your first command should work (if you are on Windows, because the quoting would be wrong for Mac/Linux), however I would suggest testing $ICC_Profile:all instead of $profileDescription just in case the description is empty.

Thanks, my bad, the first command is indeed working, I was checking results on a different file.
