Lossless conversion from RGB to CMYK for jpeg files

Post by cv_scientist »

Hello everybody out there using imagemagick,
Is the colorspace conversion from RGB to CMYK for jpeg files a losless manipulation like the rotation around 180 degree or will it reduce the quality of an image?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Anytime you go to jpg you will get compression and loss of quality. try installing the Jasper library for JP2000 format.
