Correctly convert from ColorCMYK to MagickColor

[rondo]

I am using MagickNet-Q8-64X. I am trying to convert a cmyk color to an rgb color.

Code: Select all

ColorCMYK cmkyColor = new ColorCMYK(255, 0, 0, 0, 255);
MagickColor thisColor = cmkyColor.ToMagickColor();

When I do the above code it seems to just put the 255 from the cyan value as the red value, so I end up with red instead of cyan.
Is there a step I am missing?

Sorry if this question has already been asked. All of the posts I have came across dealt with changing the colorspace of an image, whereas I do not have an image and need to just convert a color.

I do not know Magick.NET, but your command

new ColorCMYK(255, 0, 0, 0, 255);

seems to be creating a new CMYK image with Cyan=255, Magenta=0, Yellow=0, and Black=255

For me in the command line, that comes out black.

Please show your full set of code so that the experts can properly diagnose your issue.

Here is my full code

Code: Select all

ColorCMYK cmkyColor = new ColorCMYK(255, 0, 0, 0, 255);
MagickColor thisColor = cmkyColor.ToMagickColor();

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(10, 10);

using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
{
	SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(thisColor);
	g.FillRectangle(brush, 0, 0, 10, 10);
}

When I debug and look at the values:
cmykColor has Cyan=255, Magenta=0, Yellow=0, Black=0, Alpha=255
thisColor has Red=255, Green=0, Blue=0, Alpha=255

And then I end up with a 10x10 bitmap that is red and not cyan

Thanks for reporting this! The problem is this statement:

Code: Select all

SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(thisColor);

This will convert the MagickColor to a System.Drawing.Color but it does not convert the CMYK color to RGB. I just pushed a patch to resolve this in Magick.NET and I will try to publish a new release later today that includes this fix.

Thanks! I will check it out soon!
