75DPX, CIN, HDR) or only linear GRAY (e.g. PGM). A few formats support CMYK.
76Then there is the occasional format that also supports LAB (that is CieLAB)
77(e.g. TIFF, PSD, JPG, JP2). To determine the colorspace of your image, use

95<p>When processing an image, be aware of the colorspace. Many image
96processing algorithms assume a linear RGB colorspace. Although you may get
97satisfactory results processing in the sRGB colorspace, you may get improved
98results in linear RGB (essentially sRGB with the gamma function removed). For
99example,</p>

105<p>As of IM 6.7.8-2 one can properly work in LAB colorspace whether or not
106Imagemagick is <a href="high-dynamic-range.html">HDRI</a>-enabled. Essentually the A and
107B channels are stored with a 50% gray bias, to allow it to handle the
108negatives required by the format.</p>

114<p>Again, it may not make sense for some image processing operators to work
115directly in LAB space, but ImageMagick permits it and generally returns
116reasonable results.</p>
117
118<p>Prior to IM 6.7.8-2, the A and B channels has a discontinuity, making them
119non-linear. As such to process such images, you needed to first convert the
120colorspace some other linear colorspace, before apply your processing
121operator. Afterward you can transform back to the LAB colorspace. For
122example,</p>

In addition, you cannot create black and white images with JPEG nor can you save transparency.<br /><br /> Requires <a href="http://www.ijg.org/files/">jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz</a>. You can set quality scaling for luminance and chrominance separately (e.g. <a href="command-line-options.html#quality">-quality</a> 90,70). You can optionally define the DCT method, for example to specify the float method, use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:dct-method=float</a>. By default we compute optimal Huffman coding tables. Specify <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:optimize-coding=false</a> to use the default Huffman tables. Two other options include <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:block-smoothing</a> and <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:fancy-upsampling</a>. Set the sampling factor with <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:sampling-factor</a>. You can size the image with <code>jpeg:size</code>, for example <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:size=128x128</a>. To restrict the maximum file size, use <code>jpeg:extent</code>, for example <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:extent=400KB</a>. To define one or more custom quantization tables, use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define jpeg:q-table=<i>filename</i></a>. To avoid reading a particular associated image profile, use <a href="command-line-options.html#define">-define profile:skip=<i>name</i></a> (e.g. profile:skip=ICC).</td>
