Question posted in 
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

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:
