Is ist possible to get the ICC-profile of a image

I try this with  a Adobe RGB 1998 with embeded profile:


alert(app.activeDocument.selection[0].graphics[0] .profile);
alert(app.activeDocument.selection[0].graphics[0] .space);

But it only return  "Emdeded" for .profile and "RGB" for .space. But i want it to return adobe rgb 1998

Is it possible?

As far as I know, you can't get profile of an image directly in InDesign, but you can get it via metadata:

var link = app.selection[0].graphics[0].itemLink;
var linkXmp = link.linkXmp;
var profile = linkXmp.getProperty("http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/", "ICCProfile");
alert(profile);

However not all images contain the nesessary metadata, especially some old files.

You can check this by choosing Link File Info (in Links Panel menu) and going to Advanced section.
