Always ignores icc profile :(

Post by vladimir.mavrodiev »

Hi guys,
I hope that this is the right place for this, sorry if not :) Here's the problem that I have:

I'm with the latest version of the package (Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10) that came with

Code: Select all

DELEGATES     bzlib djvu fftw fontconfig freetype jbig jpeg jng jp2 lcms2 lqr lzma openexr pango png rsvg tiff x11 xml wmf zlib
And the processed images are always with no icc profile inside. No matter If I try to keep an existing profile, or set another one - the result has none (always stripping them?). I tried this both with the php extension and with a simple command line like convert test.png -profile "test.icc" test2.png.
I read a lot on the issue and understand that I need this LittleCMS lib, but is only lcms2 enough, or do I need lcms (ver.1?) also?

I don't know what am I missing... I would appreciate if someone could help :)

That is a very old version. I suggest you upgrade to the current version, eg 6.9.9-20 if you have many v6 scripts, otherwise the latest v7.

I don't know if lcms2 is sufficient to use profiles.

I use lcms2 and it works fine for me on Mac OSX. IM 6.7.7.10 was a release during which there were considerable changes to IM with regard to colorspace. So as snibgo said, you would be best to upgrade to the most current version you can.

What is your platform?

Does test.png already have a profile? What is test.icc? I have never heard of that. Do you mean sRGB.icc?

What is the date associated with your IM 6.7.7.10 version and your OS? If on Linux, some variants of Linux try to patch ImageMagick without changing the version number. Perhaps the patch is bad or it has not been patched to the latest patch.

Adding a profile works fine for me in IM 6.7.7.10 Q16 Mac OSX Sierra

Hello again,
Thanks for the quick responses :) So... I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS and with IM - Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2017-07-31 Q16. I removed and installed it from scratch again yesterday with sudo apt-get install imagemagick and I think somewhere it said this is the latest version for my ubuntu...
apt list --installed imagemagick* returns:

I do see lcms2 both in LIBS and DELEGATES, so I believe that should be ok...
That test.icc is actually sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_no_black_scaling.icc, that I downloaded from color.org and just renamed it to test with...
test.png has a profile (ProPhoto RGB), here is identify -verbose test.png:

Initially I thought it might have something to do with that PHP extension (I'm using \Imagick() in a php script to resize some images) but then I did this test - directly trying to convert an image. As you see above - no matter what I do, the resulted image always ends up having no profile at all... :/

Re: Always ignores icc profile :(

Post by vladimir.mavrodiev »

Actually I just took a look at the test2.png image and now I'm even more confused... :)
So the problem was that when that image (test.png) went through this resizing php script it kinda lost a lot of its colors... I researched around for similar issues and got to the idea that the reason for that was not keeping its correct color profile (this ProPhoto). But just now I saw that the test2.png that I converted from the command line (although not having a profile) kept its colors. So I might be right afterall and this Imagick php extension might have something to do with the issue...

I've uploaded the images for you to check as well:
test.png - the original image
test2.png - converted with command line
test_imagick.png - converted with Imagick PHP extension

also they seem to loose a bit of brightness?

With a fairly recent version (v6.9.5-3), this...

Code: Select all

convert -verbose c:pictures\test.png -profile sRGB.icc d.png
... works fine, embedding the sRGB profile, and changing the image only very slightly (which is probably a gamut problem), far less than your command changes it.

Fred has tested under 6.7.7.10, and that works. So I suspect you have a bad build of IM. Ubuntu users have reported that the "current" version of IM on Ubuntu has an old version number, but has had some recent patches applied, and not others. That is bad news for any software. If an inconsistent set of patches is applied we can't expect it to work properly.
