Converting a rgb image to cmyk with photoshop paths

Hi all!

I've got a problem with converting a jpeg to cmyk.
Here the command (Win):

convert import.jpg -profile "sRGB Profile".icc -profile "ECI.icc" -colorspace cmyk profile_cmyk.jpg

Everything works fine, but after converting, the paths in the image are lost.

Does anybody know how I can keep the embedded paths?

Thanks for your help.

Greetings
Tom

You do not need to specify the colorspace option since the profile option sets the proper colorspace automatically.

What embedded paths are you talking about? Can you post a URL to your image so we can inspect it?

Ok. I remove this command.

The jpg-image I want to convert inheres Photoshop clipping paths. And these are lost after the conversion to cmyk. Futhermore, the filesize grows with the factor 5!

You need to remove the color profile with +profile icc to restore the smaller image size. The clipping path should remain. Perhaps you are using an older version of ImageMagick. The current version is 6.3.2-1. We might be able to help further if you post a URL to your image.
