Description
I seem to be getting some inconsistent results when compressing pngs and trying to keep the colour profile.
Mac OSX 10.11.5
Image Optim 1.6.4
These are my prefs

I'm then checking the results with http://metapicz.com/ which is showing no profiles included.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with ImageOptim 1.6.4 on Mac OS X 10.11.5 using the preferences shown in the issue. Compare the compressed PNG's metadata with metapicz and determine whether the colour profile is consistently removed. Done means the configured colour profile is preserved, or the issue is clarified with a reproducible input and expected result.
