PHP CMYK to sRGB - JPG Images not keeping true colors

[fmw42]

Unfortunately, I do not know Homebrew, so I probably cannot help much more.

So I followed all your advice (tho I don't know how to do manual builds of mac/linux programs). I followed your instructions, and got imagemagick installed. I can see the lcms and other things are showing up. Following the command line options and using color profiles, I was able to get this to FINALLY WORK.

I went back and tried to get imagick for php reinstalled, thinking it is an API and maybe the updated imagemagick would work but its clear that didnt do the job.

I figured out how to write PHP to call the exec of the command line code I need to run and got that to work. So I guess I can just use the EXEC command and pass parameters to construct my $cmd statement as I require.

I guess this will work great. I can do what I need to do, although it bothers me a little I couldn't get the other way to work. It seems strange there would be such a big hole in image generation between imagemagick and imagick but maybe I am just naive.

Thanks so much for your quick responses and working through this with me.

Appreciate all your help!

Glad you got that working. I am not expert at Imagick and do not use it, so sorry I could not be of much help there.

First you only seem to have one input image, so if it is not a multilayer image such as tif or gif or pdf, then numbering the output makes no sense. If it is a tif or gif or pdf, then try a simple command line with specific values. Also you need to put the input image first after convert for proper IM syntax, except if it is a PDF. Then the image comes right after setting the density, since PDF is a vector format.

It looks like the quotes are making '%+02d' as literal. Also leave off the +.

Try something like the following to be sure it works.

Code: Select all

exec("/usr/local/bin/convert -density 72 input.pdf -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc -profile sRGB_v4_ICC_preference.icc -trim +repage -resize x1732 -quality 92 output_%02d.jpg")

Change the density and quality as you desire. If that works, then put in your variables.

In the future, please start a new thread/topic rather than changing the subject matter in an existing post.

Ok, that completely worked. I thought I had tried that but I guess I didn't.

Yes, I am converting PDF files so that's why I'm using the numbering and I wanted them to all be 2 digits. This is perfect.

The -scene works but yours works as well.

Again, many MANY thanks!
