Any utility to batch embed an ICC profile in a jpg?

I'm looking around to find if there exists a utility to embed an ICC profile in the jpgs that come out of my camera.

I know it can be done with photoshop but i'd like to do it in batch mode without saving back the jpg as photoshop does.

Any info (and i mean ANY) appreciated

Me too. If anyone knows of a program to convert all the files in a directory and subdirectories, from tiff to jpeg, while preserving the ICC profiles, I'd love to hear about it.

I need to convert all my tiffs to jpeg to save space, but can't seem to do it in Photoshop without lots of manual intervention. "Save As" jpeg won't save the images back to the directory they came from, so I have to convert a directory and then copy the files back into it. One directory at a time.

Being able to add the ICC profile back in, without re-saving the images, would do me just as well. Then Thumbs+ could do the conversion 'in place' and the utility could add the ICC profiles back in.

Or does the new version of Thumbs + preserve the ICC profile when converting images to jpeg?

I believe QImage can do this.

Thumbs+ 5 will do this too, I just found out. And it does what I need, keeping the ICC profile during conversion. Wonderful.

Nope. I've checked the advertised features and it doesn't say anything similar to this.

Anything else?

QImage is the opposite of many programs that advertise more than they can do. This is from the QImage help file.

"u Converting from one color space to another: You can now convert images from one color space to another color space whenever you use the batch filter or the image converter (right click in the queue, select "convert images"). Note that the profile conversion appears on the filter application window that appears after using the batch filter, i.e. it is not a part of the batch filter. You can only do profile to profile conversions from the batch filter when you select "Create New Images" after selecting "apply filter". For example, if you purchased the Nikon D1 JPEG color space profile (see the link on the Qimage Pro homepage), in addition to being able to print and display super accurate images using Qimage Pro, you can also convert those D1 images into a color space more suitable for web display. To do this, just add some D1 JPEG's to the queue and then right click in the queue and select "convert images". At the bottom of the dialog, check the "profile to profile conversion" box and enter the nikond1.ICM profile in the "From" box and "sRGB.ICM" (found in your Qimage folder) in the "To" box. All images will be converted into the specified "To" profile and you will have the originals (in the nikond1.ICM color space) and the converted images (in sRGB.ICM color space).

u Converting multiple files from multiple cameras: If you enter in the "From" box, Qimage Pro will select the appropriate device input profile using the information in the grid under "Settings", "Color Management". Using this parameter will allow you to convert a batch of D1 and S1 image from their respective color spaces into sRGB for example."
