Sorry bout not posting the script...

This problem script was just the default "Match to CMYK" script that came with OS X. I re-ran the script this morning on a number of different formats (jpg, bmp, pdf, png, raw & tif), but the only format that I could get it to work on was TIFF. Is this right? Is the only format you can alter via ColorSyncScripting a TIFF file?

If this is the case, then I might just need to get Photoshop. I was hoping to find a way to do JPEG's and EPS's. Anyways, here's apple's applescript. If it works for JPEG's on someone else's machine can you let me know?

Ahh ok, this makes some sense.

JPEG, BMP, PNG, RAW (?) don't appear to be supported by the OS for CMYK (try generating a CMYK version of these files in Photoshop and opening it in Preview).

CMYK JPEG is not standard, but Photoshop has done it for a long time, so some (few) apps support it.

BMP and PNG don't have any official CMYK support that I know.

PSD and TIFF should work, at very least.

It's not a problem with the script, it's just with what you're trying to do. Photoshop will allow you to save JPEGs as CMYK (and TIFF and PSD of course), but not the others. I'd rethink what you're trying to do and why.

Anyhow, for the normal cases - TIFF output - this script should work fine.

Best,

Roger
