Working with TIFF images

Hi,

Is it possible to find whether a Tiff image is RGB or CMYK using perl?

Hi,

Though i have checked with
Image::Magick;
and used
my $img = new Image::Magick;
$img->Read("Sample.tif");
my ($type) = $img->Get("type");
print $type;
It displays "TrueColor" and "Palette" for RGB and "ColorSeparation" for CMYK
Is there any specific property or method to find an image which is RGB or CMYK?

Regards,
Freedolen

Hi,

I have found 'colorspace' property ($rgborcmyk = $img->Get('colorspace');), which tells Grayscale pictures also as RGB.

Glad you got it sorted out. here's some example usage of the Image::Magick function.
it's not that new v6!!

Code:

use Image::Magick;
$p = new Image::Magick;
$p->Read("imagefile");
$p->Set(attribute => value, ...)
($a, ...) = $p->Get("attribute", ...)
$p->routine(parameter => value, ...)
$p->Mogrify("Routine", parameter => value, ...)
$p->Write("filename");
