<br><br><b>Problem:</b>  Changing
the ColorSpace in an EXIF IFD table.<br>
<br>
<br><b>Error:</b>  <br>
<code>C:ExifTool&gt;exiftool -ColorSpace='sRGB'
tifftest1.tif
Can't convert ExifIFD:ColorSpace (not in PrintConv)
    0 image files updated
    1 image files unchanged</code>

<br><b>Creative Solution #1:</b><br>
1.  Extract the binary data from an existing EXIF Table with
the ColorSpace already set to sRGB.<br>
<code>C:ExifTool&gt;exiftool -exif -b
tifftest3.tif &gt; sRGBEXIF.dat</code><br>
<br>
2.  Insert the binary data from this .dat file into the new
file.<br>
<code>C:ExifTool&gt;exiftool -ColorSpace&lt;
=sRGBEXIF.dat tifftest1.tif
Color Space                     : Uncalibrated</code>

As you can see, this is not working as I hoped it would.  I
am using the documentation that reads:
<br><br>-*TAG*&lt; =*DATFILE* or
-*TAG*&lt; =*FMT*<br>
   Set the value of a tag from the contents of a file
*DATEFILE*.  The file name may also be given by a *FMT*
string where....


<br><br>Can anybody clue me in on what is the
best strategy to obtain my objective of force changing an
Uncalibrated ColorSpace to a sRGB
ColorSpace?<br><br>
