HSI to CMYK Converter - Color Space Converter

HSI color space introduction

Also known as the HSI color space.There are 3 channels in total, hue,range from 0 to 360.saturation,range from 0 to 100.intensity,range from 0 to 255.
Origin: The HSI color space was designed to better match the color perception characteristics of the human eye, suitable for processing color-related information.
Primary Names: HSI, which includes H (Hue), S (Saturation), and I (Intensity) as the three color channels.
Typically expressed as a triplet, for example: hsi(120°, 0.5, 0.75) represents a green hue with medium saturation and high brightness.
Usage Scope: Extensively used in image processing and analysis, such as color segmentation, edge detection, target tracking, etc.
Additionally, HSI can be converted to and from RGB, and while similar to HSV and HSL, in HSI, I (Intensity) represents the overall brightness of the color.

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.
