JPEG compressed CMYK TIFF

Hello,
I'm sure this has been asked many times before but I cannot find a definite answer.
How do I need to configure libtiff (3.9.4) or libjpeg(8c) to allow for proper conversion
from CMYK to RGB?
I have a JPEG compressed TIFF file from Photoshop.
All currention IM version I compile will have inverted colors when doing
convert cmyk-jpeg.tif -colorspace rgb rgb.jpg
in "rgb.jpg".
I think this is because of my peculiar compilation of libtiff.
Thanks for any help,
Axel.

Perhaps you should identify your version of IM and platform and also post a link to your file, so that others can test it.

My suspect is the custom compilation of the "libtiff.3.dylib"
I configured libtiff this way:
---
Support for internal codecs:
CCITT Group 3 & 4 algorithms: yes
Macintosh PackBits algorithm: yes
LZW algorithm: yes
ThunderScan 4-bit RLE algorithm: yes
NeXT 2-bit RLE algorithm: yes
LogLuv high dynamic range encoding: yes

JPEG support: yes
Old JPEG support: yes

Your download link does not work for me.
Also I am not an expert on configuring delegates. All I can do is try to reproduce your problem or see if there is a work around.
But this is a common issue and many viewers do not show it properly without having some imbedded PS tags. This was reported not too long ago. I will see if I can find that topic.
see
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16512&hilit=cmyk+jpg+photoshop
I believe you were the one to find that issue/solution. So I am not sure where to go from here. But please fix your link and perhaps the IM developers or someone else more experienced can help.
Some browser don't handle cmyk jpgs correctly, also, as I understand it.

The link for the input image is ok:
Code: Select all
curl http://dl.dropbox.com/u/84530/IM/cmyk-jpeg.tif -o /tmp/t.tif

~/work/censhare/censhare-3rdParty/build-669-7 > file /tmp/t.tif
/tmp/t.tif: TIFF image data, big-endian
Presumably your browser just doesn't like to display TIFF images.
In the other thread my proposal was to embed some extra PSD tags
to make peace with Apple preview.
In this case though I checked with Chrome and Firefox which don't have
those Apple Preview issues. They show inverted colors as well.
Still I believe it is some delegate library problem here.
Regards, Axel.

JPEG images with CMYK must contain a Color Profile so programs know what colors they should use when reading the JPEG.
That is the fact about JPEG file format. No color profile generally means the image is really sRGB.
We hope to have better sRGB handling in IM v7.

My input file is TIFF (with JPEG compression).
So is your statement valid for CMYK TIFF as well?

No but your output JPEG needs to have that profile added or any reader (like the web browser) will NOT work with that JPEG, as it will NOT think it is sRGB!
Either that our the color space changed to RGB or perhaps sRGB!

That won't improve things.
using the provided TIFF input
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/84530/IM/cmyk-jpeg.tif
Code: Select all
convert cmyk-jpeg.tif -profile SWOP.icc -profile sRGB.icm rgb.jpg
still shows false color, checked with various display programs.
Is there anybody who can reproduce this?
If you have better colors -- which libtiff, libjpeg version, which IM version are you using?
Cheers, Axel

I could well be that this is a libjpeg question. libjpeg documentation says:
CAUTION: it appears that Adobe Photoshop writes inverted data in CMYK JPEG files: 0 represents 100% ink coverage, rather than 0% ink as you'd expect. This is arguably a bug in Photoshop, but if you need to work with Photoshop CMYK files, you will have to deal with it in your application. We cannot "fix" this in the library by inverting the data during the CMYK<=>YCCK transform, because that would break other applications, notably Ghostscript. Photoshop versions prior to 3.0 write EPS files containing JPEG-encoded CMYK data in the same inverted-YCCK representation used in bare JPEG files, but the surrounding PostScript code performs an inversion using the PS image operator. I am told that Photoshop 3.0 will write uninverted YCCK in EPS/JPEG files, and will omit the PS-level inversion. (But the data polarity used in bare JPEG files will not change in 3.0.) In either case, the JPEG library must not invert the data itself, or else Ghostscript would read these EPS files incorrectly.
It doesn't look like there is some switch I can set for libjpeg.
Only IM itself could check and correct.

I recompiled a rather old IM version 6.4.4-10 with otherwise the same configuration
parameters for IM and the libs (libtiff 3.9.4, libjpeg 8c)
The result is ok using a simple "convert cmyk-jpeg.tif -colorspace rgb rgb.jpg".
I assume that IM somehow lost the ability to work with the funny Photoshop
CMYK JPEG coding.
