I am creating a RGB buffered image and writing it to a file using GIF Writer. When writing the image, I am getting the default image metadata from the writer by passing the ImageTypeSpecifier of the RGB image and passing it to the write method. When I read back the image from the file, the image appears in GRAYSCALE even though the image written is a RGB image. This is incorrect.

This is reproducible on all platforms on Mustang-b40. This is not reproducible for any other writer such as JPG, PNG, BMP.

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test as follows:
java GIFWriterMetadataTest gif <image file>
If a frame is shown with a gray scale version of the given image, the bug is reproduced.
