Converting any image to EPS-CMYK produces distorted files

Carter J · Post by **Carter J** » 2014-01-28T22:54:39-07:00

Might be a bug, so posting here

In continuation to the thread here -> viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24877

ImageMagick Version - 6.8.7-4 2013-10-26/6.8.8.2 Q16 x64 (Tried with both IM versions)
OS - Windows7 Professional, 64 bit
Ghost Script Version - 9.05/9.10 (Tried with both versions of Ghost Script)

Issue:- Converting any file to EPS-CMYK is resulting in fuzzy and distorted images

Tried with different input images such as
TIFF-GRAY
JPEG-CMYK
JPEG-RGB
TIFF-CMYK
TIFF-CMYK
TIFF-RGB
PHOTOSHOP-CMYK

In all the cases the output EPS-CMYK produced is bad

Attached one sample test case

Input File -> JPEG-CMYK
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7s6cf79qx30qj ... CMYK_1.jpg

Output EPS-CMYK produced from IM
http://imgur.com/XmI44zn.jpg

Please help, is this is a known issue to generate EPS-CMYK with ImageMagick ?

Ok, here we go

C:\Users\carter.j\Desktop>convert -alpha off Carter_CMYK_1.jpg -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc Carter_CMYK_1.eps

C:\Users\carter.j\Desktop>convert -alpha off Carter_CMYK_1.jpg -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc Carter_CMYK_1.eps

C:\Users\carter.j\Desktop>convert -alpha off -strip Carter_CMYK_1.jpg -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc Carter_CMYK_1.eps

C:\Users\carter.j\Desktop>convert -alpha off -strip Carter_CMYK_1.jpg -profile USWebCoatedSWOP.icc Carter_CMYK_1.eps

C:\Users\carter.j\Desktop>convert Carter_CMYK_1.jpg Carter_CMYK_1.eps

I tried lot other combinations too, but none seems to be working. Above posted are few of the command line that I tried

I can confirm with the following test. The image is labeled sRGB palettealpha and no profile is attached.

# convert logo using profiles to CMYK EPS
convert logo: -profile /Users/fred/images/Profiles/sRGB.icc -profile /Users/fred/images/Profiles/USWebCoatedSWOP.icc -alpha off logo2.eps

identify -verbose logo2.eps

Save the image as ps2:logo2.eps. You'll then to need to specify the CMYK colorspace to read the image (e.g. identify -colorspace CMYK logo2.eps). We'll add a patch to detect that the image is CMYK in the next point release of ImageMagick.

Saving the image as ps2:filename.eps seems to be working, but its not successful in all the cases

1. JPEG-CMYK -> EPS-CMYK - Success
2. TIFF-CMYK -> EPS-CMYK - Failed (Output images still is distorted, showing Xray kinda display)

Below is the link of a sample TIFF file that I tried
https://www.dropbox.com/s/f722la9hhtglt ... CMYK_1.tif

Regarding the patch to detect the colorspace if its CMYK in the eps image - When can we expect this build release?

Do we have an update?
We are still facing issue with this problematic conversion of files

Have you tried the latest release, 6.8.8.4? Does it still fail?

fmw42 wrote:Have you tried the latest release, 6.8.8.4? Does it still fail?

Yes, its still failing

1. Output EPS-CMYK images are still distorted even after using ps2
2. The colorspace is still not showing the expected color mode i.e., "CMYK"

Will this be fixed in the next release of ImageMagick 6.8.8-5?

Can you try to save the image as ps3:TIFF-CMYK_1.eps.

dlemstra wrote:Can you try to save the image as ps3:TIFF-CMYK_1.eps.

dlemstra,

I tried
convert TIFF-CMYK_1.tif ps2:Test_Out.eps
convert TIFF-CMYK_1.tif ps3:Test_Out.eps

Tried ps3:Test_Out.eps also with no success, still the output images look distorted. And also the output images are chopped off when using ps3 i.e., only some portion of the output image is only visible that too distorted

Is it the problem with ImageMagick ? Or else am I missing any additional parameters in conversion

Carter J · Post by **Carter J** » 2014-02-10T03:36:42-07:00

Tried this with latest version ImageMagick 6.8.8-5 Q16 x64, still the output images chopped off and distorted.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated and still we are not able to figure out root cause of issue.

I can produce a correct image with ImageMagick 6.8.8-6 x64 on windows 7 with the following commands:

Code: Select all

convert D:\test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.tif ps3:D:\test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.eps

identify D:\Test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.eps
TIFF-CMYK_1.eps PS 642x960 642x960+0+0 16-bit ColorSeparation CMYK 2.465MB 0.016u 0:00.018

convert D:\test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.eps D:\test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.jpg

identify D:\Test\tif\TIFF-CMYK_1.jpg
TIFF-CMYK_1.jpg JPEG 642x960 642x960+0+0 8-bit CMYK 223KB 0.000u 0:00.002

Maybe eps viewer does not suport ps3?

Downloaded the latest IM as you said and tried using ps3 to get EPS files. Correct, when viewing the files with EPS viewer its not displaying the output EPS properly. We tried opening the resultant output images in Photoshop and we are able to see good EPS images.

Hi,

Prefixing with "ps3" is producing output images without distortion, but the resolution of output eps defaults to 72.

Tried with following command:
convert -units pixelsperinch -resample 216 TIFF-CMYK_1.tif ps3:Test_Out.eps

and

convert -units pixelsperinch -density 216 TIFF-CMYK_1.tif ps3:Test_Out.eps

Identify -verbose on Test_Out.eps:
Image: Test_Out.eps
Format: PS (PostScript)
Mime type: application/postscript
Class: DirectClass
Geometry: 642x960+0+0
Resolution: 72x72
Print size: 8.91667x13.3333
Units: Undefined

Base type: ColorSeparation
Endianess: Undefined
Colorspace: CMYK
.....

Any Insight?
