Research direction

Start by tracing the WIC image-loading path and how explicit sRGB metadata and the ignore-metadata flag are handled. Determine how additional color information is exposed during loading; done means applicable WIC images are converted to sRGB without breaking the existing metadata behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Currently when loading WIC files we use explicit sRGB metadata to distinguish between 'normal 'and 'sRGB' formats. There's also a flag to ignore this metadata.

When loading images, however, some contain additional color information that can be used to convert to sRGB formats.
