When a feature is broken and / or not performing as intended
It appears that when images are inserted into a Tiled Gallery they include the string
?strip=all
in the Photon URL. This strips EXIF data and color profile information (as documented here).The result is that when an image that has been saved with a color profile other than sRGB is inserted - the color will shift in a way the user doesn't expect. When the thumbnail is clicked - it loads the image without the color profile stripped which makes it even more obvious
By comparison - the native 'Gallery' and CoBlocks 'Masonry' gallery insert the thumbnails without stripping the color profile. The behavior should be consistent across the three gallery types.
Steps to reproduce the issue
What I expected
The image to be displayed on the page as it shows on my local machine, in the media library, and when loaded directly in the browser
What happened instead
The image shows with the colors shifted to different tones
