Re: Imagemagick on Mac vs. PC
@freddyp, I'm aware of that but in this case I need an image output and PitStop Server is not available.

Re: Imagemagick on Mac vs. PC
I'm not quite sure I understand why but yes, the "-type TrueColor" argument seems to solve the problem
But why isn't it needed on Mac then. Well, never mind. It works

Imagemagick on Mac vs. PC
I'm trying to convert a grayscale image containing an icc profile (Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.icc) to AdobeRGB 1998 using Imagemagick via "Execute command" in Switch. It all works very well on Mac. Doing the exact same thing on Windows doesn't change the colorspace to RGB. Using the &q...

Re: Confusing info on color mode for psd files
That could be a workaround but I choose another approach. After the conversion I run Imagemagick again with a -verbose argument using the app Run Command. I now have the correct information in Private data and can use this as variables to update the XMP using Inject XMP. 
Tested, and it works

Tested, and it works

Re: Confusing info on color mode for psd files
Using Photoshop is not an option in this case.
Rather than using exiftool I think I might as well use the "XMP inject" build into Switch and set to "Update XMP", but as you mention, I will need to be sure that this information is actually correct

Confusing info on color mode for psd files
I'm creating a rather complex flow for handling images in many different formats and color spaces. Part of this flow is converting CMYK and Indexed colors to AdobeRGB. I'm using ImageMagick in Switch (Execute Command) to do the conversation, and that works fine. If I send a jpg in CMYK into the flow...

Re: Job Board - Checkpoint View Option
I'm not quite sure what is the purpose of not letting the user download the file. Is it because you don't want the user to see the content or you don't want the user to be able to download the original file? Either way you could generate another file, that you send to the checkpoint. If you don't wa...

Timeout for Check Point
I'm looking for a way to automatically send a file from a Check Point on a certain criteria without having to manually trigger it. A file arrives at a Check Point with a certain date somewhere in it's metadata. If the current date is more than five days after the date in the metadata, I would like t...

Re: Best Methods/Practices for Maximizing Griffin Layout?
Can you not just open the layout in Griffin, change the width and height in Layout and add marks?

Re: Execute Command SSH - "%1"
If it's "only" a matter of preserving the metadata you could export the metadata as xml before sending the file to the other Mac and then inject the xml again into the file, when it returns. I have done that with files being send to Zünd PrepareIt and used the free app "Inject XML&quo...

Re: Switch with Acrobat
As both Magnus and Loïc states there are better and faster ways to do this. Anyway I just tested and the conversion via Acrobat works fine for me. Switch 2024 Fall, Acrobat 2024, Mac OS 14.7.4

Re: RGB to CMYK conversions
An ImageMagick argument like this should do what you want. Just replace the path to the source and destination profiles with whatever is relevant in you setup. "%1" -profile "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/sRGB Color Space Profile.icm" -profile &quo...
