i am trying to convert jpg images into CMYK eps files using profiles
but after conversion when view the properties of the eps image in imagemagick ,it still says the color space is RGB

this is how i am converting(i also need to change the dpi to 200 and resize it to a specific size)

Convert -resample 200x200 -density 200x200 -units PixelsPerInch -resize 300x200 -unsharp 0.5x0.5+3.0+0.02 -profile sRGB.icm -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc C:\img.jpg C:\img.eps

is there anything wrong with what i am doing
why is ImageMagick still shows the color space of eps is RGB

Your image may already have contained a profile!

See IM examples on Profiles
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#profiles

This section was just recently re-formats to make it more readable. Update should appear in a day or so.

No idea.

however a a guess... I believe the profile in eps is only used for TIFF preview images, and for that the EPS must be converted from a TIFF image file. Something like this was just talked about for ITPC profiles in eps images. I have updated the profiles section on IM Examples (give it a day to appear on the main site).
