Hi Chris,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Please find the screen shot images.

2. During the Profile conversion:

3. After the Profile conversion:

Profile not tagged with the LAN320 CMYK Profile...

Set the Color Settings to "Preserve Embedded Profiles" if they are not – I should have thought of that earlier …

If you want the Script to check for that setting you can use something like this

// 2015, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putProperty (stringIDToTypeID ("property"), stringIDToTypeID ("colorSettings"));
ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("capp"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
var cmykPolicy = applicationDesc.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("colorSettings")).getEnumerationValue(stringIDToTypeID("policyCMYK"));
alert (typeIDToStringID(cmykPolicy));

Please post the (relevant section of the) Script in question.

Which format do you save the image as?

Please post a screenshot of the opened image with the statue bar set to display "Document Profile".

Hi Chris,

Thanks for you reply. I have received the RGB image and I convert to CMYK using LAN320 profile.

However the embedded profile was not tagged. its still save dialog window shows untagged.

Code:

var log=""
CheckColorProfile();
alert(log);
function CheckColorProfile(){
    var docRef = app.activeDocument; 
    try{
        if(docRef.mode==DocumentMode.RGB){
            if(docRef.colorProfileName!="LAN320"){
                docRef.convertProfile("Working CMYK", Intent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC, true, true);
                log=log+"- Color profile was changed into LAN320!\n\n";
                }
            }
        }//Try
        catch(er){
            // If receive any untagged profile
            docRef.convertProfile("Working CMYK", Intent.ABSOLUTECOLORIMETRIC, true, true);
                        log=log+"- Image has untagged LAN320 color profile!\n\n"
        }
    }
