Because the image wasn't saved the data wasn't read from the original file and you essentially have a brand new picture with new exif and color space; as if it were captured with another camera (it effectively was). Because your monitor profile is on your computer it works fine in a color managed application. | |

My screenshots embed my own display profile, but as I have a fully-calibrated workflow it seems to be 'OK'. My uncertainty is if this image came from someone else without calibration… though the profile can be 'decoded' on my Mac, the results would be random, as the input was. | |
