converting gray image to color.

[hirofumi]

I'm totally new to imagemagick, please help.
I need jpeg files in TrueColor, 3 channels with no exif info. so I converted gray image with command below,
convert gray.jpg -strip -colorspace YCbCr -type TrueColor result.jpg

GIMP recognized it was 3 channel RGB color.
but identify command below says it's grayscale.
identify -verbose result.jpg

which is true or command was something wrong?
versions are:
- imagemagick 6.9.1-6
- libjpeg v9a
- GIMP 2.8.14

With imagemagick 6.7.8.9, identified it sRGB in same commands above.
Images converted by 6.7.8.9 was identified grayscale by 6.9.1-6.

Thanks for any help.

"identify" tells you what the image is, after it has been read from the file. It doesn't tell you the type of data that is in the file.

IM was changing colorspace and grayscale during the 6.7.x series. So I would trust more the 6.9.x series. However, if the image has all 3 channels the same, then IM will say grayscale, while other software may still say RGB.

Thanks snibgo and fmw42!
I understood how identify command behaves.
and decided to use IM 6.9.x series.
