They can mean different things depending on the input file format. -colorspace is designed to modify how an image is stored in memory transforming it from the current 'colorsapce' to the specified 'colorspace'. If you just want to set the color space and not actually modify the color values that are stored use "-set colorspace CMYK" You may also like to look at -type which is ment to specify the 'type of image' that is to be read in and/or saved. See IM Examples, Basics, Image Color Space Storage http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#colorspace and the next section Image Type when Reading and Writing http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/basics/#type Anthony Thyssen ( System Programmer ) <[email protected]> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The more knowledge you know, the less you know, that you know you know.
