How to export photos with CMYK ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc profile ?
Hi,
I have to provide photographs with such icc profile for a book publication. I didn't find a way to do it with PR 2023.1.
Hints?
Or suggest another tool (ex. web service).
Thanks

There is no way to do this from within the program. Photo RAW supports only the RGB color space

Thanks Brian, this is something I wasn't sure.
I also checked for web services offering such a capability, but none of them would accept TIFF files larger than 200Mb.

Export your image to TIFF, setting the Export Settings so it limits the file size to 200MB then take that to another program which can resave in CMYK.

Good idea... I tried other methods (8bits vs 16bits), LZH, but resulting files (after translation) metadata didn't indicate the final color space... It is one specific CMYK icc profile that is required.
Where can I see the color space of a photo? Win metadata and PR metadata don't tell. Same for Nikon native software.

You can use the free command line tool exiftool to dump all an image file's metadata. Adobe Bridge will display it for pixel format images like TIFF or jpeg, ect.
RAW processors generally don't report colorspace because a RAW file has no colorspace. It's just the raw sensor readings of the amount of light in one color (R, G, or B) that reached that sensor cell. It has to be demosaiced (combined with the neighboring cells) to assemble it into an RGB image we can see and work with.

Thanks for this additional info Brian!
However, it appears to me it could be helpful to export into CMYK profile from our RGB profiles. Photoshop does it, but I don't have Photoshop.

There have been suggestions made at the ON1 Photo RAW Project to add CMYK export. The company has consistently declined them.
