this image opens as an 8-bit grayscale, it discards the sRGB profile. Can you give us the same solution as below on our account? Will this effect just jpgs or pdfs as well?

  Hi there,

  Thanks so much for reaching out.

  The solution that was applied in the link you shared is a flag that can be applied globally to your account. This change would apply to all outputs that are images. So it would not affect PDFs, as long as PDF is the output format. Let me know if you would like this flag enabled on your account.

  May I ask how you are checking the ICC profile? By running the terminal command `exiftool path/to/image`, I can see that both the derived version you shared and the original image both have  ICC Profile Name : sRGB IEC61966-2.1 

  In the future, you could also use the color space transformation, cs_srgb, to force an srgb profile. In this case, it will not change anything, as both versions are already srgb. I will link to that documentation for you to reference https://cloudinary.com/documentation/transformation_reference#cs_color_space 
  
  Looking forward to your response.

  Kind Regards,

  Tia
