[TYPO3-dev] GraphicsMagick Problems in current trunk - can someone confirm?

Hi,

there have been some changes in trunk lately, that will by default force 
IM or GM to strip all ICC profiles (or alike) from created/scaled 
images, which is reducing the size of images on some pages 
significantly. The command that get's added is "+ profile '*'", which 
should work for most IM and GM versions and can be configured/set in the 
install-tool (if not, it's missing). I think '-strip' is also working in 
old IM versions, whereas "+profile '*'" might only work in newer IM 
versions - but I'm not sure. Please have a look in the core list and 
search for "reduce image size" or something - there you should find the 
according discussion about that topic.
