WP just removes the embedded icc profiles. Please, photographers need them!

  • Hi core team and other fellows,

    I and some other photographers have the problem, that even with the new option to use the ImageMagick engine, the embedded icc profile is striped while generating thumbnails and mid sized images. A embedded profile is now read by FF, Safari and Chrome. I tried the “ImageMagick engine” plugin aswell as the “onet regenerate thumbnails” plugin. Both also remove the profile.

    Could someone provide a patch? I tried it myself but got no luck. On the command line it is easy:

    (ImageMagick installed manually)

    convert 1.jpg 2.jpg will create a new file and keep everything. You can resize and make some stuff, but the profile will be kept.

    convert 1.jpg 1.icc will extract the profile

    If you have a striped file (no profiles at all) for example
    convert 1.jpg -strip 2.jpg and then import your previously extracted icc profile convert 2.jpg -profile 1.icc 3.jpg all is fine.

    Core hackers or plugin developers – is this heavy to implement? A imagick PHP module driven patch is good aswell. (and if I could use the imagemagick-sharpen-resized-images plugin that would be super)

    Thanks, Gabriel

    I’m still on track to solve the problem, but no skilled wordpress users or developers are interested in integrating color management. All major browsers support it, so there’s two simple questions – nobody interested in colors?? and: wordpress still cutting edge??
