Note

This release converts CMYK images with an ICC profile to sRGB as CMYK is not supported by PNG, WEBP, AVIF and HEIC Pillow encoders.

The issue stems from the fact that when a CMYK image is encoded, it gets converted to RGB, thus resulting in inaccurate colors because Pillow ignores the ICC profile during the conversion.
So, we manually force an accurate conversion to RGB before encoding the image. This results in a much more accurate representation of the original CMYK image.
