Convert to Image Resource: Several flaws

[Joachim_L]

I was curious about the new Layer menu entry "Convert to Image Resource" and played a bit with it. Conclusion: Very nice feature, but has some flaws.

1. I created a new CMYK document, 300 dpi, PSOcoated v3.

2. Made an element having a size of 865 x 424 px and rasterised it.

3. Went to Resource Manager and selected the image (additionally made it linked for further inspection).
Original size: 865 x 424 px = Fine. Placed DPI: 300 = Fine. Original DPI: 0 = What? Placed size: 865 x 424 px = Fine. ICC profile: No value = What? Colour space: CMYK = Fine.

Finally I opened the image in PS and the image had really no ICC profile and the DPI was 96 at 865 x 424 px. I expected the image to inherit the ICC profile and the DPI. Bug or by design?

Forgot to mention the value for placed DPI

Hi @Joachim_L,

Sorry for the delayed reply. This is bug. I would expect the new image to have the same DPI and ICC as the document.

This is partially fixed in 1.9.2.1035 and beta 1.9.4.1068. Everything works, but making the file linked it loses the ICC profile and falls back to 96 dpi.

After rasterizing in step 2 you should not have anything that would show in the Resource Manager. So I presume you left out step
2.5 Used Layer > Convert to Image Resource to convert the rasterized layer to an image.

Good to hear that some of the problems you found have been fixed already.

Yes, this is getting embarrasing ...
