500 internal error with proPhoto RGB profile

[jdpsbh]

Hi guys!
We are facing this problem on a HostGator VPS running last PHP imagick 3.8.0.

When try to do a new $imagick = new Imagick('proPhotoRGB.jpg'), throws an 500 internal error.

But it works great on a HostGator shared host running PHP imagick 3.5.0.

Does last version is compatible with this new proPhoto RGB icc profile?

Does the Imagick compiled with ImageMagick version makes diference?
VPS 3.8.0 has date 2025-09-23 (recently) and version 3.5.0 has 2021-10-14 .

Can you share some free image that can be used to recreate this?

Hi @bukka ,
The problem appears to be in Imagick using ImageMagick library version.

Now, the shared host has been updated to new version date 2025-11-25 and stopped working too.

When try to load an image with => $imagick = new Imagick('golden.jpg') an 500 internal error occurs.

Image link:
http://xtremebh.com.br/imagick_test/golden.jpg

Script link:
http://xtremebh.com.br/imagick_test/imagick.php
just one line code to init the imagick => $imagick = new Imagick('golden.jpg')

When using the same image in png format, it works.

Thanks!

Our workaround was to use the CLI command with PHP shell_exec to change the profile, strip the metadata and save it again.

$cmd = "/usr/bin/convert " . escapeshellarg($inputFile) . " -verbose -profile sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_no_black_scaling.icc -strip " . escapeshellarg($outputFile) . " 2>&1";

Seams that it's not accepting opening jpg with any embeded profile and/or metadata. The example above, the golden has no color profile embeded.
