Clipping Path Behaviour is Different for CMYK and RGB conversion EPS to PNG Transparency
Posted: 2015-10-23T07:09:51-07:00
I am converting EPS files with a clipping path to PNG. The aim is to convert the clipping path to PNG transparency.
Earlier I found in this forum a way to do so with two convert calls.
No I found that these two calls are only working for RGB files. In CMYK I get a white (on some images a black background).
For CMYK files a single call to convert works. Is this intended or a bug?
The test images are here:

2-liner - Fails for CMYK to create transparency
Onliner - Fails for RGB to create transparency
So the current fix in my application is a hybrid mode, choosing the method based on the color profile:
