<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/profile_8c.html" id="ProfileImage">ProfileImage</a></h2>
<p>ProfileImage() associates, applies, or removes an ICM, IPTC, or generic profile with / to / from an image. If the profile is NULL, it is removed from the image otherwise added or applied. Use a name of '*' and a profile of NULL to remove all profiles from the image.</p>
<p>ICC and ICM profiles are handled as follows: If the image does not have an associated color profile, the one you provide is associated with the image and the image pixels are not transformed. Otherwise, the colorspace transform defined by the existing and new profile are applied to the image pixels and the new profile is associated with the image.</p>
