CMYK to sRGB with profiles loses transparency

[fmw42]

Using IM 6.9.9.34 Mac OSX Sierra.

Input:
http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_test/ai ... ug/test.ai

This works fine:

Code: Select all

convert -density 150 -background none -colorspace srgb test.ai test1.png

http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_test/ai ... /test1.png

But this loses transparency:

Code: Select all

convert -density 150 -background none test.ai \
-profile /Users/fred/images/profiles/USWebCoatedSWOP.icc \
-profile /Users/fred/images/profiles/sRGB.icc \

ImageMagick relies on Ghostscript to interpret PS / EPS / PDF / AI. Unfortunately, Ghostscript does not provide a device that supports CMYKA. We use the pamcmyk32 device. The format does support CMYKA but currently the device does not write the alpha channel. Perhaps more modern releases of Ghostscript does. If so, problem solved.

Here is the header from the pamcmyk32 device. Notice its missing the alpha component:

Code: Select all

P7
WIDTH 595
HEIGHT 595
DEPTH 4
MAXVAL 255
TUPLTYPE CMYK

Thanks. I understand.
