Re: [Lcms-user] lcms demo program src?

[<ma...@li...>]

John,

Most CMYK JPEG comes inverted. This is a long history about a Junior
programmer that did a mistake in early versions of PhotoShop, and adobe
trying to keep backwards compatibilty. All CMYK JPEG from adobe 
programs  are stored with CMYK inks inverted. 

In a conversation with Tom Lane, time ago, he told me that he cannot 
change this behaviour on ijg code, since this will break existing 
applications that are aware of this, and does the inversion by itselves. 

I am using a patched version of  ijg, that does return correct inks, on
depending of adobe markers. I attach the code as well, (is very small).

If you don't like to use modified version of a library, you can provide 
your own reversing. Is only a matter of detect if adobe marker is present, 
and if so, reverse (255-x) the channels.

About the demo sources, well, the demo is using a image processing
library still in development and a lot more complex that the CMM itself,
so I'm afraid it would be of little use.  The cmyk->srgb is only a matter 
of opening cmyk profile on input and srgb on output, and then apply 
transform. Anyway, if you experience any problem  feel free to drop 
me a note. 

Regards,
Marti.
