[Image-SIG] Anyway to keep ICC profiles intact (e.g. sRGB)?

[Eric Clack]

My knowledge is very limited when it comes to colour profiles, so I might be
describing something that is impossible here, but isn't the colour profile
information just a tag, or piece of metadata that I could copy from image to
image?
