I have a problem using Change Color Profile widget in a workflow. I have some scanned TIFF files with no color profile that I want to:
1. embed scanner profile to (using "Change: Profile Setting Only" in Change Color Profile widget),
2. change color profile to Adobe RGB (using "Change: ImageData and Profile Setting" in ChCP widget).

Everything works OK when I do the transformations manually (the result is comparable to my ColorTune output and also to the original slides on a lightable). However when I try to do the transformations in a workflow it looks as if embedding scanner profile (in the first ChCP widget) changed not only profile setting but also image data (which it isn't supposed to change).

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Pawel

Maybe you do convert in the working colorspace, first ?
I have tried with: On Profile Mismatch : Don't Convert in the Color Management settings, seems to work as it should.

Hope it helps

I just double checked my settings and created another new, fresh workflow - unfortunately, I have On Profile Mismatch setting set to "Don't Convert" and Color Change widget in workflow mode just doesn't work the way I suppose it should.
