Thread: Problem with JPEG and CMYK color space




Problem with JPEG and CMYK color space
user name

In the JPEGImagePlugin.py module, there's a hack to handle
Photoshop 2.5 
CMYK JPEG images (around line 273)... that's causing half
the problem upon 
loading JPEG's.  By commenting that out, you get a proper
image, although 
it's still inverted.

I can't seem to find the right place to re-invert the image
upon load, but 
I'll see what I can find.  Anyone with suggestions would be
welcome. 
There's probably a better way to do this though, so the
data is read 
correctly in the first place (in CMYK, 0,0,0,0 = white,
255,255,255,255 = 
full black... this is probably the problem).

Kevin.
