+mode_in is raw color profile of the image the stats were computed on, to copy palette order from when relevant.
+Minimal PNG color model means the color type and bit depth that gives smallest amount of bits in the output image,
+e.g. gray if only grayscale pixels, palette if less than 256 colors, color key if only single transparent color, ...
+This is used if auto_convert is enabled (it is by default).
