Color List from CMYK image

CHROMiX ColorThink
1

I’m looking for a way (in Color Think or some other app) to export an image as a color list.

CMYK images are converted to RGB using QuickTime in ColorThink. I need the CMYK data, not the RGB data.

Does anyone know how to do this with ColorThink? If it’s not possible, is there another way to get a list of colors from an image?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t know about colorThink, but you can do it in Logo ColorLab. It’s a free and unsupported program that you can download here: http://www.gretagmacbeth.com/index/products/products_color-mgmt-spec/products_professional-cm/products_pm5-photostudio/products_pm5-photostudio_sw.htm

The trick is to:

  1. Open your file.
  2. Go to Filter/Conversion/Spot Colors and tick the Enable checkbox
  3. File/Export and choose textfile

I hope this is the kind of color list you were looking for…

Just for everyone’s information; there is also an extremely useful tool called “ImageMagick” at www.imagemagick.org

It’s natively a UNIX command line interface but there is a Windows Binary release as well. It has a similar conversion function, where an image can be output as a pixel-by-pixel color list, in RGB.

The current version is 6.2.4 but the author of the software says the next release will support CMYK output as well.

Just an update,

The 6.2.4-5 version was released for ImageMagick and the CMYK output of pixel values works perfectly.

I haven’t bought pro yet… I hear that’s a function, however.
