Hi Marti,
Thank you, I will continue to ignore gAMMA and cHRM. I think I can get away
without an ICC profile, as I already indicate sRGB
color space in the image header. My guess is that perceptual was simply
chosen in the original file because
it equals zero, which seems to be a sane default value, even if it isn't :)
Best,
Aaron
