Hi Dwight,
If you use a program like Alwan CMYK Optimiser along with Gradual's Switch
software you can apply the right ICC profile, add Metadata to the file
automatically and then test if that has been applied as it goes through the
workflow.

Hello, does anyone know of a method to determine
if an ICC profile has
already been applied to an image? We'd like to avoid applying the same
profile twice to an image that is untagged. We've thought about
analyzing the gamut or individual channel response. Any other ideas?
In case of CMYK, try to convert the image again. If the differences
(caused by asymmetries between the A2B and B2A transforms) are below a
certain threshold, you can assume the conversion already happened.
