The following two commands give a colorspace of gray when it should be CMYK. NOTE I modified the filename to avoid spaces below.

Code: Select all

infile="MAR2014_parts_English.pdf"
convert -ping "$infile[0]" -format "%r" info:`

DirectClass Gray

Code: Select all

infile="MAR2014_parts_English.pdf[0]"
convert -ping "$infile[0]" -format "%[colorspace]" info:`

Gray



Whereas, identify -verbose says it is CMYK

Code: Select all

infile="MAR2014_parts_English.pdf[0]"
identify -verbose "$infile"

On that file, "-ping" gives sRGB but if we omit "-ping", we get CMYK.

Interestingly, "-ping" is no faster. Both are about 15 seconds on my laptop.

What version of IM were you using to get sRGB with -ping and CMYK without -ping? And I presume you are on Windows.

IM v6.9.2-5 Q16, pre-built binary, on Windows 8.1.
