Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Do you really need to convert JPGs from RGB to CMYK?!

"imagemagick commands" - that sounds like a completely new thing to learn...and I was just getting the hang of latex commands.

ImageMagick is a suite (installed by default in many GNU/Linux distributions) that does things like reprocess images. It's not part of LaTeX. From my previous post:

Code: Select all

convert RGB.jpg -colorspace CMYK CMYK.jpg

Does that do anything helpful?

So imagemagick is part of GIMO?

What is GIMO?

nevermind.

Kaiserkarl, If I convert all my images to CMYK and then go back and replace all the RGB images in my lyx file, and then enter your code:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[cmyk]{xcolor}

in the preamble of my document, and then go to pdflatex and save the pdf, then the entire pdf document will be read as CMYK, correct?

How does the black text look when you print such a pdf?
