[Lcms-user] Unexpected gray to RGB result

[Ralf J. <ral...@gm...>]

I try to use lcms2 to convert gray to RGB, but the output differs
considerably.

So I double-checked with

   jpgicc gray-inverted-profile-linear.jpg gray-rgb-linear.jpg

but the result is the same: Unexpected saturation of dark gray areas to
pitch black.

As reference of the expected outcome, please take a look at
gray-chromium.png to see how Chromium renders
gray-inverted-profile-linear.jpg. Firefox and GIMP look just the same.

Am I missing something? I am grateful for any advice!

Ralf
