convert to CMYK EPS (from RGB PNG)

Post by etiennesky »

I'm having trouble creating a CMYK EPS file from an RGB PNG

The following command works great for creating an CMYK TIFF.

convert -profile sRGB.icm -profile cmyk.icm +profile icc -compress None -density 300x300 -depth 8 +matte test.png test.tiff

However it does not work for producing a CMYK EPS (it makes a RGB EPS), furthermore the resolution is 72x72 instead of 300x300.

I tried the following for producing a CMYK EPS, to no avail

1)
convert -profile sRGB.icm -profile cmyk.icm +profile icc -compress None -density 300x300 -depth 8 +matte test.png test.eps

2)
convert -profile sRGB.icm -profile cmyk.icm +profile icc -compress None -density 300x300 -depth 8 +matte test.png test.tiff
convert test.tiff test.eps

I'm using the following version of IM on Ubuntu Edgy:
Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 02/15/07 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org


Thanks,
Etienne
