I have several images that I would like to strip the ColorSync profile from. Eventually, I would like to automate this in bash so I could easily process this on a file or folder from the contextual menu using an Automator service.
How do I strip a color profile from an image file using Terminal?
I've mentioned before that the commercial utility Unsanity FruitMenu allows customization of Finder contextual menus. You could launch an AppleScript or Automator document from the contextual menu with this utility. But FruitMenu requires Rosetta and therefore won't work in Lion. I don't know if Unsanity is developing a way to implement this in Lion, or not.
Using iTerm2 you actually have an option for that:
Just uncheck Preferences->Profiles->Your Profile->Terminal->Terminal may set tab/window title.

Use
sips(scriptable image processing system) to remove an ICC color profile from an image file in El Capitan.sipsdoes a ton of other stuff as well.To remove the ColorSync ICC profile from an image:
Example:
It appears to support the following image types, but I'm basing this on the
formatimage property key (see Options in the man page):See the man page for more info, or use
sips -hfor help to stdout.
