Ray,

what tool do you use to assess if the colors are wrong ? Doing "gdal_translate 48bpp.png 48bpp.tif", and then opening in GIMP 48bpp.png, 48bpp.tif and 24bpp.tif, the colors are all identical. I see that the 3 files have an ICC profile. Perhaps your visualization tool doesn't honour it for the 16-bit version ?

I came across a 16-bit RGB PNG file that appears to read incorrectly in GDAL 3.11.3. I didn't see any changes in the readme's for later GDAL versions in regards to this.

The file content is okay but the colors are wrong. Looking at the band pixel data returned by GDAL, it might be similar to the endian issue that happened with 16-bit grayscale PNGs earlier, but applying endian corrections and RGB/BGR ordering on my end didn't help. Near as I can tell it looks like the channels are shifted in some other way.

An example file is available at

For reference, a correctly read 8-bit version is available at
