I need a converter from CMYK to RGB for some thousands images.

I can't open the files in CS4 without the help of an assistant.
If I could I would then apply an action...

I have some 3 to 4.000 images

I have been googling but I would like a small help from you instead, please :)

I must be missing something ... :)

Thank you. :)

You're kind of screwed if you don't know the source CMYK color space which is necessary for proper conversion to RGB. And CMYK to RGB even with this knowledge is not recommend. Find out what CMYK color space was defined initially for the RGB conversions and get that profile installed, then select it as the assumption for the data for conversions back to RGB. Or better, if possible, find the original RGB data.

What you can do is assign CMYK profiles and select the one that "looks best" and use that for conversions TO RGB. That doesn't mean you'll match the original color appearance.

Thank you Andrew ! :bow:bow

I think I have done it.:D
Well, at least five of them to begin with.
I can see the images in Bridge.
OK.
Then I have selected the ones I wanted.

Under Tools there is Photoshop at the bottom. Inside there is Image Processor.
