Missing Profile for sRGB images.

Post by laurens_at_hol »

I use -profile with this file sRGB_IEC61966-2-1.icm to make sure the output file, of the converts my program does, always has the sRGB color profile.

Recently I tried to update my ImageMagick installation from 6.7.3.-7-Q16-windows-x64 to 6.8.5-9-Q16-windows-x64
After updating and testing I ran into the problem that the output images don't have the sRGB color profile anymore.

When I run identify -verbose on the output image produced by IM 6.8.5, I get:
Profiles:
Profile-icc: 3141 bytes

When I do the same conversion with the older IM version 6.7.3, I get:
Profiles:
Profile-icc: 3144 bytes
Description: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Manufacturer: IEC http://www.iec.ch
Model: IEC 61966-2.1 Default RGB colour space - sRGB

Any idea what is going wrong?

It looks as if you still have a profile, but "identify" doesn't tell you what it is.

For further diagnosis, you might provide a sample input and output image files, and the exact command.

Split from the old, obsolete topic as a new topic.

Resurrecting the old topic is unhelpful in this case as ImageMagick has changed as 'sRGB' is now the default colorspace for images. It took quite a while for this upheaval to have all the problems and side effects sorted out.
