Hi, GIMP 2.6.6 running on Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy" Linux.
In the archives I found information that to delete a color profile, you just set the color space (Image, Mode, Assign Color Profile...) to sRGB which apparently is a color space without color profile. There were three TIFF images which PhotoShop 5.x on Windoze would not open due to corrupted color space. These images are believed to have been corrupted years ago when a server had bad RAM and wrecked a couple thousand images being transferred to a particular external hard drive; most were easy to identify as corrupted (i.e. reported, not real, size grew to over 2GB ea; but we still find a few that generally work okay, but have corruption in the profile). I was trying to fix them for another person so that they could open them in PhotoShop. Using the above mentioned technique in GIMP, I fixed one of them just fine. Its corruption (and on-open error message) was different than the other two. However, two others were not fixable by this method. ??? Is this a bug? This is what happened... In the Open File dialog, upon just clicking on the filename (prior to actual opening, but resulting in seeing a preview), Gimp put out error messages: lcms: Error #12288; Corrupted memory profile However, the file _could_ be opened in Gimp. Upon attempting to assign the sRGB to the image (Image, Mode, Assign Color Profile...) just clicking on the last part (Assign Color Profile...) resulted in a) the dialog did not open for doing that task; b) the menu collapsed back to normal state; c) the error message appeared lcms: Error #12288; Corrupted memory profile and d) in the Message Console (sorry, I lost the exact text) it says that the "dying plugin... may have left Gimp... unstable state" or something like that. So, just clicking to get the dialog to change to sRGB killed the plugin that was do to that task. (In the end I solved my problem by literally copying & pasting the image into a new window and then saving that as the same filename.) I _do_ have a saved sample corrupted image file if anybody needs this for testing purposes. Is this a bug? Is it known? Should I post on the developer list? Should I put it in bugzilla? Lastly.... is there a command-line bulk/batch method to remove color profile (i.e. set to sRGB) on hundreds of image files (TIFF) at a time?
