Hi, Does anyone have any experience converting CMYK images to RGB/web using rmagick/mini_magick/imagemagick? I''m finding that the resulting RGB images look completely different, they seem to have a green tinge... fyi, I''m converting using -colorspace RGB, and I''m using imagemagick directly because the other 2 options seem really slow (by a factor of 20 or so). I have looked into color profiles, but after trying a few via command line I noticed that I can''t use the same profiles for all of the files. Is there any good documentation out there about color profiles? or is it a bit hit and miss. I''m a bit of a beginner at this image processing stuff so I might need a bit of explanation ;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

This stuff is not straightforward.

Yeah you make a good point ;-) I was kinda just putting feelers out everywhere looking for anyone who had been through what I''m going through and could give me some pointers! Having said that, I have partially solved my problem! I wasn''t having any luck with profiles because I didn''t have a package installed called lcms or "Little cms". Imagemagick uses this to convert things via color profiles :-) fyi, if anyone is having trouble with this (on a mac) then you should install imagemagick via the following command: sudo port install imagemagick +lcms I haven''t tried it on ubuntu yet but it''s bound to be similar Thanks, Jonzo.
