-strip also removes the color profile and other color information (iCCP, sRGB, gAMA, cHRM, cICP in PNG; the ICC profile in JPEG). That changes how wide-gamut images look, so the help text now says so.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

For PNG, -strip removes iCCP, sRGB, gAMA, cHRM and cICP along with the
other ancillary chunks; for JPEG it drops the ICC profile (APP2) with the
other markers. These change how the image is displayed (wide-gamut
images such as Display P3 or Adobe RGB shift in color), so they are more
than metadata and worth stating in the help text.
