Assigning (only) an icc profile

I need to simply assign a different icc profile and not actually convert the image.  Analogous to the assign feature in photoshop.  Is this possible with ExifTool?

Thanks

Yes. You can either set the ICC profile from a file (ie. "file.icc"):

Code:

exiftool "-ICC_Profile<=file.icc" image.jpg

or copy it from another image which has the desired profile:

Code:

exiftool -tagsfromfile src.jpg -ICC_Profile image.jpg

of course, this also works for image types other than JPEG.

Thank you for your quick response.  I tried your command line instruction and it embeds the profile in the image.  As does an object from the module when I added it to my script:

$exifTool-&ltSetNewValuesFromFile($srcFile, 'ICC_Profile');
$exifTool-&ltWriteInfo($wrtFile);

Is there a method to assign the icc_profile without embedding.  OS X has a nice utility called SIPS which does it well but doesn't work for eps and I'd much prefer to use a pm

thanks

I'm not familiar with how to assign a profile without embedding.
If you could send me a sample image with a profile assigned
like this then perhaps I can add this feature to exiftool.

Thanks.  My email is philharvey66 at gmail.com.
