I've looked into #272584, but I cannot decide if this bug is a duplicate of that one. I have tried to reproduce that bug, using the provided images, but got the opposite result: image_noicc_noexif.jpg appears to be rendered correctly, while image_sRGB.jpg is not. Also, the color distortion seems different from the reported on #272584, maybe because of a different monitor?

I'm attaching a screenshot, using the same sample images at #272584.

Thank you for your bug report, is that the same issue than bug #938751?

[Thiago Vinicius Freire de Araújo Ribeiro (thiagovfar)]

Seems like this is, indeed, a duplicate of bug #938751. Removing ICC profile, as explained on comment #14 of that bug, solves the issue.
