GraphicsMagick – Identify and remove attached color profile – Photoshop

I have some tiff images that have an embedded color profile (the example one is Canon EOS-1Ds flash).
When I convert them to jpeg (gm convert source.tif target.jpeg) the resulting jpeg colours are distorted in browsers (Chrome,Firefox, but not IE) but not in system image viewers.

If I open the source in GIMP Image Editor, and change the colour profile to sRGB, then the image from the above convert command displays correctly in browsers.

So I have this question:

How can I identify the fact that an image has an embedded color
profile using graphicsmagick?

It looks like with this command the profile is removed:

mogrify +profile '*' -define jpeg:preserve-settings

Here is the output from gm identify -verbose source.tif

    gm identify -verbose *.tif | egrep -a '^Image|Profile-'

    This will print all matching filenames, followed by the profiles for those files that have them. This would at least let you scan a directory at a time and try to figure out why some files are problematic.

    Perhaps you may force the colorspace to RGB:

    gm convert +profile "*" -colorspace RGB source destination
