Converting image from RGB to CMYK

Post by chainas »

Hello,

I use ImageMagick-6.5.7-Q16 on Windows. I tried a lot examples of RGB to CMYK conversion from this website: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#color_profile, but still no result.
And i still can not understand where i can get such profiles for conversion and maybe there are some default profiles ?

Because command:

Code: Select all

convert rgb.jpg -profile USCoat.icm cmyk.jpg
Results error:

Code: Select all

convert: unable to open image `USCoat.icm': No such file or directory @ blob.c/OpenBlob/2480.
convert: unable to open file `USCoat.icm': No such file or directory @ blob.c/FileToBlob/829.

I think, You mean this website: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/ ... s_win.html. I used those profiles and my problem got solved.
