Created attachment 177926 [details] uncorrupted file SUMMARY I am delegating tag writing to exiftool because I want to write tags to HEIC images. Writing tags corrupts the ICC Profile of the image (it deletes it), rendering the image in overbright/high contrast colors. See the bugreport for exiftool here: https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool/issues/313 STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. set digikam to delegate tag writing to exiftool 2. load uncorrupted file 3. write a face tag to the image OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Phil, the developer of exiftool released a new version with a partial fix, it might be worth adding it to digikam 8.6.0. Thank you!
Which ExifTool version exactly. In next 8.6.0, We integrate Exiftool 13.12... Gilles Caulier
The cause is not ExifTool. Therefore, nothing should be changed in ExifTool. The cause was Bug 498076. Maik
Wow, thanks I was not able to find this issue.
