RGB to CMYK conversions

Post by Joe_UrbanStudio »

Hi, I am trying to set up a workflow to convert Adobe RGB tiff files to Gracol 2013. I cannot get anything to work. I have tried Image Magick and PitStop server. What is the easiest way to set this up?

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 "/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA39.icc" "%2"

If it is OK to have a PDF image as a result you can do that with PitStop Server.

The image file is the input. Note that the functionality of opening image files was added to PitStop Server 24.11. You can then run an action list that consists of the following steps:
  • Select RGB images
  • Override the color management settings with Adobe RGB as the source profile for the RGB color space and Gracol as the target profile for the CMYK color space
  • Convert color to CMYK
You can optionally tag the CMYK image with the ICC profile you used as a target.
