Images from 'Annals of Internal Medicine' seen as negatively-colo(u)red by ImageMagick

[RandomTroll]

ImageMagick displays images from 'Annals of Internal Medicine' as though they were negatively-colo(u)red.

Code: Select all

 convert -negate 

emits an image that ImageMagick displays 'correctly'. All other X-based image displayers (e.g., Firefox, Opera, Gimp) display them correctly. fbida-master fails, reporting 'unsupported color conversion'. Does anyone understand what's going on? Here is an example from a public(k)ly-available article, humorous, not medical:

What version of IM, on what platform? What was your complete command?

I suppose the image on that page you are interested in is g180047ff1_panel_1.jpg

That image is CMYK, with no embedded profile. I assume you want an sRGB image. Use one of these methods:

Code: Select all

magick g180047ff1_panel_1.jpg -colorspace sRGB out1.png

magick g180047ff1_panel_1.jpg -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc -profile sRGB.icc out2.png

out1.png uses a simple arithmetic conversion. out2.png guesses the input CMYK was encoded as USWebCoatedSWOP. If the ICC files are not in your current directory, use their full paths.

yes.

I assume you want an sRGB image.

I just want to view it properly.

'magick' is not a command in Linux.

Use one of these methods:

Code: Select all

display -colorspace sRGB annals.jpeg

comes out correctly. Why is this necessary? Why doesn't ImageMagick detect the input color scheme and display it correctly?

IM does what you tell it to do, and doesn't try to guess what you might want instead. It doesn't know if your output device is sRGB or AdobeRGB or P3 or whatever.
