Converting any image to EPS-CMYK produces distorted files

Try:

Code: Select all

convert TIFF-CMYK_1.tif -units pixelsperinch -density 216 ps3:Test_Out.eps

Hi,

Above not worked and still showing output resolution as 72

Image: Test_Out.eps
Format: PS (PostScript)
Mime type: application/postscript
Class: DirectClass
Geometry: 297x444+0+0
Resolution: 72x72

Tried with ImageMagick version:
Version: ImageMagick 6.8.8-9 Q16 x64

EPS is a vector file and does not have any resolution/density? That is why it is scalable when displaying or printing. You have to set the density when you read the eps file before printing or converting to other formats.

The embedded raster may have its own density, but the vector shell does not. IM simply assigns it density=72 as a default.

At least this is my understanding of vector files. But I will defer to vector experts on this.

ImageMagick does not store the DPI in the EPS file. The value you are seeing is the default value that is used when reading an EPS file.

We are trying to write a EPS file here.

Input File - JPEG 300 dpi
Output File - EPS 300 dpi

Can't we write an EPS file as we are not trying to read the vector data here, instead we are trying to write it.
