Export... JXL always strips embedded Color Profile causing a color shift in the image. cjxl has an option to keep the color profile:

Code: Select all

 
 -C K, --modular_colorspace=K
    Color transform: -1 = default (try several per group, depending
    on effort), 0 = RGB (none), 1-41 = fixed RCT (6 = YCoCg).

Could this option be exposed so we can export to JXL and keep Color Profile?

1.8.8
could not delete Color profile from loaded image

to reproduce
1. open test image in Viewer

test_img_color_profile.zip: (259 Bytes) Downloaded 171 times

issue A
2. Clean metadata (Metadata menu)
- check ICC profile
- press OK
3. press Ctrl+S to resave JXL
image still has color profile

issue B
2. goto Settings > Write
- uncheck Keep ICC profile
3. press Ctrl+S to resave JXL
image still has color profile

expected behaviour
guess these 2 approaches should be legit ways to remove metadata from images
