CMYK to JPEG Converter - Color Space Converter

CMYK color space introduction

Also known as the CMYK color space.There are 4 channels in total, cyan,commonly referred to as c,range from 0 to 100.magenta,commonly referred to as m,range from 0 to 100.yellow,commonly referred to as y,range from 0 to 100.black,commonly referred to as k,range from 0 to 100.
Source: CMYK is derived from the process of color printing. It's the result of the subtractive process, meaning the colors on the original white paper are achieved by subtracting certain colors from white.
Primary name: CMYK, full name being Cyan Magenta Yellow Key, where 'Key' typically refers to Black.
Usage: CMYK is mainly used for color printing, such as in magazines, brochures, posters, etc. It's also employed in graphic design related to printing.
Additionally, it's important to note that CMYK cannot represent all the colors in the RGB color space, especially those very bright ones. This is called a 'color gamut', and different color spaces have different gamuts. Furthermore, Black (K) is introduced in CMYK because pure CMY color mixing typically cannot produce a true black, but rather a deep brown.

JPEG color space introduction

Also known as the JPEG color space.There are 3 channels in total,Y,range from 0 to 255.Cb,range from 0 to 255.Cr,range from 0 to 255.
The JPEG standard was created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and was officially published as an ISO standard in 1992.
JPEG, which stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. The file format is typically .jpg or .jpeg.
The compression method involves transforming the image to a frequency domain using a Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), quantizing the frequency components, and then encoding the result. JPEG images also support various levels of compression, which can be adjusted to balance image quality and file size.
JPEG is ubiquitous in digital photography, web graphics, and online image sharing due to its efficient compression methods.
JPEG uses a lossy compression technique, which means that some image quality is lost in the compression process, but the reduced file size is useful for storage and bandwidth considerations.
