Assigning colour profiles

[Shar]

I have a few digital paintings that do not have any colour profile because the software used to create them does not assign any profile to them. This creates a problem when trying to get the images printed in the colour they were intended to be.

I have been advised the XnConvert is able to assign colour profiles to images. But I need to assign a profile to the image so that it prints out as I see it on my screen.

Could anyone give me an idea of how I would assign a colour profile and what colour profile I would need to use. I am a complete beginner with colour profiles etc.. and find the subject completely baffling!

Please add action 'ICC convert', you can set your profile

Thank you for your reply Pierre.

But how would I know which profile to use? Or is that a stupid question?

you can assign a sRGB profile

I went into ICC convert and applied the RGB profile / colour space (as this is has a wider gamut than sRGB) but nothing changed on the image preview. Then I converted it anyway to see if anything would change but it didn't.

Correct me if I am wrong ...I expected the preview image to change in colour giving me an idea of what it would print out like with RGB setting? Have I got this totally wrong?

Please can you offer some guidance because I don't have a clue what I am doing!

So you must use an input AND output profile
