[TYPO3-dam] handling of color profiles/ color management in Typo3

[t3lists-2010 at thorstenindra.com]

Hello List,

 

In building a photographer’s website with Typo3 (4.3.3), I utilize the dam extension in combination with  rgsmoothgallery, the exiftool service and other dam-related extensions.

 

I am wondering how DAM/ Typo3 (with Imagemagick and GDLib installed) handles color management issues. 

Having researched this, I didn’t really find any helpful information, so I thought maybe an expert is reading along here.

 

Are color profiles of jpg images respected and converted?

 

My experience so far is that the color profile and metadata get’s stripped in the images of the gallery – but I am unclear where this happens or how to change/ avoid that. 

(e.g. this is what’s left of an image that has gone through the “Typo3 mill” : http://regex.info/exif.cgi?b=3 <http://regex.info/exif.cgi?b=3&referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thorstenindra.com%2Fphotos%2Ffavorites%2F&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thorstenindra.com%2Ftypo3temp%2FGB%2Fce485ed10e.jpg> &referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thorstenindra.com%2Fphotos%2Ffavorites%2F&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thorstenindra.com%2Ftypo3temp%2FGB%2Fce485ed10e.jpg )

 

Can anyone give some pointers in this matter?

 

Thanks in advance,   

Thorsten Indra
