Thank you for your reply,
I misspoke...
Experiment:
1) I take a photo with my reflex then I load it on the desktop of my win11 PC.
I look at the EXIFs (complete) and I don't see any profile.
2) I load this last photo into GIMP and immediately export this image without any processing.
I look at the EXIFs (complete) and I still don't see a saved profile.
3) I do the same thing as before, but I do some work: light, contrast, colour etc...
I export and look at the EXIFs... This time, a profile is recorded in the EXIFs of the JPG file...
So...
Normally a profile 'which of course depends on the sRGB or RGB colour space,
is stored in the PC and used to correct display errors on a screen (in the case of a screen peripheral).
So why include a profile in the EXIFs of a JPG image?
