In carrierwave, strip image but keep color profile OR convert color profile to sRGB

Question

I'm having basically the same problem here:

How to remove exif from a JPG without losing image quality?

But I'm using Rails and Carrierwave. I'm not sure how Robbert's solution converts to Ruby.

Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

From the carrierwave docs, you can add something like the following mogrify function to your uploader:

class PhotoUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include CarrierWave::MiniMagick

  process :mogrify

  # ...

  def mogrify
    manipulate! do |img|
      img.format('jpg') do |c|

        # other options you may want, eg:
        # c.auto_orient

        convert.profile.+('!icc,!xmp,*')
      end
      img
    end
  end
end

which will strip the EXIF data but preserve the ICC and XMP profiles in the JPG.
