but the b.jpg still shows the image in twisted colors. What do I do wrong here?

[stefan9]

as far as i can see no profile included in your CMYK image.
for that your first -profile applies the (wrong!) srgb.icm to the image and then colorspace does some conversation ...

with no profile within input image try:

Code: Select all

convert "cmyk-in.jpg" -profile cmyk.icc -profile srgb.icm "out-rgb.jpg"

Thank you.
It seems to be some of my pictures have profile information and some do not. How can I check that image has cmyk profile? After the check I can execute different convert command in my Java code.

You can see if there are profiles listed as icc or icm in the verbose information.
