I’ve had this issue ever since I’ve update to the second revision of 2.10.34. Whenever I export anything with the extensions .png or .tff, the color profile is seemingly turned strange. If there’s anyway I could fix this issue, it’d be great.
Are you referring to the downstream second version of gimp-2.10.34 ? Also, which OS / distro was this on ?
I assuming the jpeg ( brown image ) is the input, and the png ( colored image ) is the output.
Running exiftool on the png image doesn’t show any color profile. It shows only a palette. Do you imply that this metadata information is incorrect ?

I meant to say color palette. I figured out the problem anyways. When I updated, the settings I used were wiped and it defaulted to “automatic pixelformat” instead of the 16bpc RGBA I normally use. It’s just another case of me being silly.
If Gimp with automatic pixel format exports the image as a color-indexed PNG, then the image is already color-indexed in Gimp, and I don’t see much point in exporting with 16-bit/channel?
