montage program does not embed ICC profile in the output file

[yup]

According to http://www.imagemagick.org/script/montage.php the montage program supports a "-profile" option. And really, presene of this parameter in the command line does not produce any error messages. But it creates output file without embedded ICC profile.

For example (simplest):

Code: Select all

montage a.jpg -profile a.icc a.tif

- produces "c.tif" that does not contain profile.

At the same time

Code: Select all

convert a.jpg -profile a.icc a.tif

- produces "c.tif" with embedded profile.

During discussion of this issue snibgo noted that

Code: Select all

montage in.jpg out.jpg

also does not write to out.jpg the embedded ICC profile that in.jpg has.

Perhaps, the latter is "by design", but the first problem (with the "-profile" option) looks like a bug.

(ImageMagick v7.0.0-0 and v6.9.3-7 on my computer. ImageMagick v6.9.2-5 on snibgo's system.)
