So I've got a system that receives images from users We then ship those out to a 3rd party. This 3rd party requires that they be JPEGs (easy to convert to) of a certain size (easy to check) and in RGB colorspace (vs CMYK or Grey).
I had a great bit of difficulty, and simply threw my hands up, when trying to "encourage" a greyscale image (that is, a picture that's only grey pixels) to become an RGB colorspace JPEG. Every automated tool I tried (libjpeg-progs, ImageMagick, possibly others; it's been a while) seemed to ignore my colorspace hint, and said to themselves "ah, but it's only grey pixels; let's just save it as Grey colorspace!) Does anyone here have any suggestions on a tool that can handle this for me? (Again, this will be running on a server as part of an automated process, so desktop apps are out; don't bother suggesting The GIMP :) ) I'd be willing to whip something up in C that used libjpeg and ran on our server to handle the 'force-to-RGB-colorspace' task. (The other idea I had was to introduce an off-grey pixel into the source image, to "convince" the tools we're using now that the image really does deserve RGB colorspace :) ) Thanks in advance, -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
