I don't know how many images are in test.psd. Perhaps you only want the first image. If so, your input filename would be "test.psd[0]".

If you are converting with "-profile", don't use "-colorspace {anything}" first.

I don't know what your Black-White.icc profile does. I suggest you use sRGB.icc provided with ImageMagick, or some similar sRGB profile.

"-depth 8" is redundant as jpegs are always depth 8.

If your input has transparency, "-background white -layers merge" will flatten it against a white background. Using "-layers flatten" is more obvious and may be faster.

So, I suggest: Your input seems to be grayscale, so I expect the output would also be grayscale.

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.
