Yes, I know that it can read them. But I want to *extract* them and save them to my HDD, like CorelDRAW.

I need to create some artwork in Illustrator and need it to be color-managed using the profile used in the TIFF files. I *could* ask for them, but that'd take time.

Simple solution: Open one of those TIFF files in Illustrator. Select all
and delete. That gives you an empty document, still in the correct color space and with the correct profile. Start working from there.

Also there's a plug-in called "Der Curvemeister" that shows a comparative color profile as a set of curves, although I'm not as yet sure what it all means in terms of furnishing useful information. The ICC profiles are evidently a set of fairly complex curves, and the numbers associated with these must be coefficients of some kind--does anyone know how to correlate them?

Der curvemeister shows what's known as the "neutral response" curve, meaning the RGB values assigned to a neutral gray, ranging from a brightness of zero to 100.

This is generally interesting for device profiles, such as scanners, cameras, and printers because the RGB values usually do not coincide with one another.

The neutral response curve is just a straight line for working spaces such as Adobe RGB and sRGB. For those spaces, the Gamut viewer image is interesting.
