[Added] Option "Store ICC Profile": Proper checkboxes and inline help in all file format dialogs: JPEG, WEBP, HEIF, etc

Post by porg »

For the PNG file format options, GraphicConverter recently got a clarifying inline help for the option "Store ICC Profile":

[√] Store ICC Profile: In case of an sRGB profile no ICC profile will be embedded (ca. 1-8 KB) but only a "this is an sRGB" flag will be set (few bytes only).

Please achieve that level of clarity in the file format dialogs of all file formats which support ICC color profiles in general and sRGB flags in particular how GraphicConverter behaves in that case. Thanks!

I added it for JPEG and WebP to build 6158.

HEIC do not support this due the usage of the macOS CoreImageExporter.

Great that this is now deployed more widely.

Though the interdependency of the options is not yet clear anywhere. Ideally hierarchy, indentation, and in/active state of mutually interdependent of UI elements, should convey that information to the user.

Ideas for restructuring so that everyone understands at first glance:
