[digiKam-users] color profile saving

[Maik Qualmann]

Of course, even if color management is turned off, an existing color profile 
will be saved to the new image. Please describe in more detail in which image 
format you save and what format the original image had.

Tested here with a PSD image using AdobeRGB 1998 and exported as PNG or TIFF.
