Halftone output color profile is none

Halftone transformation outputs lose their color profiles.

I do not believe it makes sense to assign a profile to a halftoned image since it is made up of dots of 100% saturated colors.

OK, but whenever you add it to the Layout transformation, you get a warning "Color profile mismatch Halftone: None...." etc..
Assigning a profile prevents this.

One more remark:
You get a similar warning for all outputs that can and will follow the halftoning,e.g. crop, posterize, tint, etc.

I changed Halftone for the next release to apply the gray or color working color space to the output image.
