No luck. I used imagemagick to convert to pnm and back. Transparency was removed before by adding a white background, also all not critical chunks (ICC profile, backgroundcolor, resolution, creation and modify date, comment) were removed. The graphic is a valid PNG (TweakPNG) and aside from the size, there is nothing special with this graphic. Still no '(PNG copy)'. @luigi: an ICC profile definitely breaks the <png copy> rules The only chunks left are IHDR PNG image header: 5900x4094, 8bits/sample, truecolor, noninterlaced IDAT PNG image data .. IDAT PNG image data IEND end-of-image marker Mh, where is the show stopper? The compression method?
