EmbedThis! The key to color communication is making sure that people where your images come from.

EmbedThis! is a great utility to embed ICC profiles in your TIFF and JPEG image files. If you send images to a service bureau or color lab for printing then you will want to make sure that they always know what color space the images are in. Embeding the correct color profile is the best way to do this.

Most professional image editing software is designed to work with industry-standard ICC profiles. If you are a digital photographer and want your service provider to be able to get the best color from your images then it is vital to make sure you embed the appropriate profile in your images

A picture is worth a thousand words so we think that the screen shot will tell you just about all you need to know about EmbedThis! and what it does. All you need to do is to 'tell' the program where your (tiff and jpeg) images are, and where you want them copied to when the profile has been embeded. Depending on whether the program finds an RGB or a CMYK image it will embed the appropriate profile that you have selected. It's as simple as that!
