On this page there are four (very narrow) image files side to side. From left to right:
1. PNG file without a profile. (Created in an unknown working space.) *
2. PNG file. Color profile sRGB assigned when opening the previous file, then saved without the profile. PNG does not support color profile embedding.
3. JPG file with embedded sRGB profile.
4. JPG file saved in sRGB color space but saved without embedding the profile information.
Do you see anyt differences?
* (After saving the files 2, 3 and 4 I heard the first file was created using sRGB color space. This said, the first two files should be identical.)
