Colors -> Decompose discards exif data
Submitted by Markus
Link to original bug (#727780)
Description
Decomposing an image to RGB channels as layers is a nice way to create a grayscale image. It's flexible to weightedly blend channels, and you get an instant preview. But when you save the image, all exif data is gone.
It would be nice if the new image that gets created by using Colors -> Components -> Decompose inherits the exif data from the source image.
