I am trying to use the boost generic image library to convert CYMK images

  • 0

I am trying to use the boost generic image library to convert CYMK images to RGB.

The following code does not compile

// read cmyk image file cmyk8_image_t img; jpeg_read_image( '1502-T2-C-PER.jpg', img );  // convert to rgb rgb8_image_t rgb( img.dimensions() ); copy_pixels(     color_converted_view<rgb8_image_t>(view(img)),     view(rgb)); 

Anyone know how to fix this?

I have based this code on tutorial code

void x_luminosity_gradient(const rgb32fc_view_t& src, const gray8s_view_t& dst) {     gray8_image_t ccv_image(src.dimensions());     copy_pixels(color_converted_view<gray8_pixel_t>(src), view(ccv_image)); 

Here is the compiler output:

1>c:\program files\boost\boost_1_35_0\boost\gil\step_iterator.hpp(164) : error C2664: 'boost::gil::detail::step_iterator_adaptor<Derived,Iterator,SFn>::step_iterator_adaptor(const Iterator &,SFn)' :

    Found the problem

    // read cmyk image file cmyk8_image_t img; jpeg_read_image( '1502-T2-C-PER.jpg', img );  //// convert to rgb rgb8_image_t rgb( img.dimensions() ); copy_pixels(     color_converted_view<rgb8_pixel_t>(view(img)),     view(rgb)); 

    The trick is to use rgb8_pixel_twhen calling color_converted_view
