Two photos from same iPhone - one I can open in Camera Raw Filter and the other I can't?

Question

Working in Photoshop and using the Camera Raw Filter - with photos taken from the same iPhone 8 on the same day. One opens right away in the Camera Raw Filter, the other I get an error message that says "ICC Color Profile of this document is not compatible with the Camera Raw Filter."

They both have RGB 8 bit profiles.

My work around is I convert it to CMYK and back to RGB and then it works.

But it's just super annoying as I'm working with hundreds of photos....anyone else encounter this and why would it happen???

Is there a way to assign the sRGB profile on a batch of photos and not one at a time in Photoshop? Maybe in Bridge?

Just googled and found the answer:

Have the first file open.

Open the Actions panel, and create a new action. Name it. Start recording, there's a button at the bottom of the panel, which lights up red.

Do whatever you need to do. In this case it's mainly Edit > Assign Profile. I'd still recommend you save the result out as a copy to a specified folder, which you can do here as the next step (there are other ways to handle this, but that's a different subject better suited for the Photoshop forum).

Close the original without saving. You don't want to overwrite your originals.

Stop recording.

Open Bridge, select the files you want. Tools > Photoshop > Batch. Pick your action and go.

Thanks for the help on the color profile!

They both have RGB 8 bit profiles.That doesn't tell us about the color space; RGB is a color model. What does Photoshop show as the RGB color space?Can you upload one of these images to something like Dtopbox so we can examine this?
