fefinining % of c'm'y and k

[moshebg]

hello
i need a program (and pleas shoe me the modol in the softwar) that :
if i have a scaned photo
i want to define out of each poligon color ,as it seems in the photo,
the cmyk
in % (percets) of the color/
4 exampl from poligon color orang defin the cmyk in %
like that: (example)
c: 30%
m:56%
y:78%
k: 10%
moshe
thanks

if I understand you correctly, then what you want to do is to
determine the amounts of each color an image has. I can think of two
ways of doing this, both using PIL; one faster,

img = Image.open('foo.png')
dot = img.resize((1,1),1)
avg = dot.getpixel((0,0))
for i in zip(dot.getbands(), avg):
print "%s: %s" % i

and the other, thorougher

img = Image.open('foo.png')
width, height = img.size
numdots = width*height
avg = [sum(i)/numdots
for i in zip(*[img.getpixel((x,y))
for x in xrange(width)
for y in xrange(height)])]
for i in zip(dot.getbands(), avg):
print "%s: %s" % i

the first is usually pretty close to the second, but YMMV.

Converting from these image-specific average values to CMYK is a
non-trivial problem (impossible in the general casew); see for example

where this issue was discussed.
