No, there is no such feature in Photo Mechanic.

Can't you batch save-as and not include the ICC profile?  (This would mean you have another copy of the file though, and in case of JPG some additional quality loss due to the recompression of the data).

Good question?

Kirk, is that possible, to save another copy without the ICC profile?

I don't know offhand.  It should be easy enough to try doing a Save as.  I'd expect that it would preserve ICC information through to the saved image.

Why do you want to remove ICC profile data?

Sometimes I want to reduce the file size and removing the ICC file does that. Some clients donĀ“t need the ICC since they are importing their own ICC data.
