I have an image with .jpg format , and i got the values of (R,G,B,C,M,Y,K) for all pixels . but I want to know how to calculate cmyk values as calculated, for example :

the values of first pixel(0,0) were as follows :

R=22

G=32

B=42

C=167

M=130

Y=95

K=199

So ,what is the relationship between 22, and 167 or 32 and 130 ?

Slightly off-topic: you really shouldn't put your own files in the installation directory of matlab. Use another folder on your computer.

I would also strongly recommend not using Windows 7 anymore, unless you are working on a computer from an organization that has an agreement with Microsoft that ensures continuing updates.

@RIk: Well spotted!

@ahmad Al sarairah: as Rik wrote, do NOT save your personal files in the installation directory of any application. With MATLAB the simplest is to use the default Startup directory (which is under your <user> directory).

People who use simple formulae like the one in the other answer are people who do not understand CMYK.

Typically, if you want to convert from RGB to CMYK it's because you want to send some image to a print shop. Once printed you want the image to look exactly (in terms of colour) as your original image. Unfortunately, the look is going to depend on the actual printer. One printer will generate slightly different colour than another for the input. Therefore, people who manage these things have created what is called ICC profiles, which is basically a file that tells you exactly what the colours are going to look like. If you don't take these into account then the red in your original RGB image may look pink with one printer and orange on another.

In order to convert RGB to CMYK you need the ICC profile of the RGB device that has been used to generate the image (your monitor) and the ICC profile of the printer (which the print shop will give you). Once you've got these, it is trivial to transform RGB to CMYK in matlab with the applycform function:

inprof = iccread(yourmonitoriccprofile);
outprof = iccread(theprinterprofile);
rgb_to_cmyk = makecform('icc', inprof, outprof);
cmyk_image = applycform(rgb_image, rgb_to_cmyk);

See matlab's documentation on profile-based colour conversion.

Note that converting RGB to CMYK without taking profile into account (eg with naive formulae) is a complete waste of time. You may as well give the RGB file directly to the print shop which will do a better job of printing it correctly.

Then you can't get CMYK values, at least ones that mean anything. Sure, you can find some formulae online that give you some CMYK values for a given RGB input. They'd be completely arbitrary values.

The below are 3 equally valid transformations of the same RGB input into CMYK:

rgb = cat(3, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6);  %arbitrary rgb value for demo. 
cform{1} = makecform('srgb2cmyk', 'RenderingIntent', 'Perceptual');  %conversion from SRGB to some unknown CMYK with perceptual intent
cform{2} = makecform('srgb2cmyk', 'RenderingIntent', 'AbsoluteColorimetric'); %same conversion using a different rendering intent
inprof = iccread('srgb.icm');  outprof = iccread('USSheetfedCoated.icc');
cform{3} = makecform('icc', inprof, outprof);  %conversion from SRGB of a CRT to CMYK of a particular device
results = cellfun(@(c) reshape(applycform(rgb, c), 1, []), cform, 'UniformOutput', false);  %apply each method to the RGB imput
%pretty display
array2table(vertcat(ans{:}), 'VariableNames', num2cell('CMYK'), 'RowNames', compose('Method_%d', 1:3))

results in:

ans =
  3×4 table
                   C          M           Y           K    
                _______    _______    _________    ________
    Method_1    0.74487    0.43236     0.040909     0.18479
    Method_2    0.88421    0.50463    0.0058442    0.030091
    Method_3    0.85098    0.52549       0.1451    0.015686

3 different valid conversions, 3 different CMYK values for the same input.

Guillaume speaks the truth here. CMYK does not define any kind of specfic color, unless you know the printer the colors would be printed on, and you knew the inks/pigments that would be used, etc.

Even worse, for any given RGB code values, the CMYK will not be unique! That is, any RGB code values would result in what would generally be a curvilinear path through the CMYK code value space, all of those CMYK code values would in theory produce the same color on output.

Not all such CMYK combinations would be as desirable as some of the others. Thus on printers that use inks, too much ink on the paper can result in a waterlogged mess.

Next, there are issues with converting RGB to CMYK, in terms of gamut. Not all RGB code values have any combination of CMYK that will produce that color. For example, a super bright almost fluorescent looking green or yellow may well be out of the CMYK gamut. This was much more true on older devices, where I recall the HP deskwriter C, printing on plain paper, had a device gamut that was incredibly tiny. Better papers and inks did incredible things in this respect.

The problem with out of gamut RGB colors is then you need to choose which CMYK combination is the best possible match for the given color.

I could point out at least a few distinct such algorithms for gamut mapping, though it has been many years since I worked in that area.

It is easier to go the other way, thus for a given CMYK, you can at least build models & mappings to predict the "color" (pick your favorite color space) that would result for a given CMYK, printed on a specific device/paper combination. At least that mapping will be theoretically unique in that direction, although the modeling will generally use a variety of interesting techniques. (It would also involve writing a book to describe those modeling techniques, something I essentially did in my past career.)

Thank you , but i have another questiion about this toic :

How can i use "imwrite" function to wtite the converted data to a file?. because i used this function but I got this error :

Error using writejpg (line 46)

Data with 4 components not supported for JPEG files.

Guillaume 2020-1-16

You're still persisting with this idea of CMYK, which is not going to work!

While the JPEG format does support CMYK, not many software implement that support. In particular, matlab does not support it. In matlab, as far as I know, the only format that supports CMYK is tiff.

Again, you're wasting your time.

How can i solve this problem? :

Cannot display summaries of variables with more than 524288 elements.

This is unrelated to your original question (and certainly not an answer to it) so you should probably start a new question.

Why is it a problem? Yes, the variable editor won't display matrices with that many elements. If it's an image you're trying to look at, imshow or imtool would be a better visualisation tool than the variable editor.
