How to convert CMYK to HSV?

Understanding the Models

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in color printing. HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is an alternative representation of the RGB color model, designed to align more closely with the way human vision perceives color-making attributes.

Conversion Process

  1. Convert CMYK to RGB first.
  2. Normalize RGB values to range 0-1.
  3. Calculate Max and Min RGB values.
  4. Compute Hue based on which color channel is max.
  5. Compute Saturation and Value based on Max/Min.

Formula

// Step 1: CMYK to RGB

R = 255 × (1-C) × (1-K)

G = 255 × (1-M) × (1-K)

B = 255 × (1-Y) × (1-K)

// Step 2: RGB to HSV

V = Max(R,G,B)

S = (V==0 ? 0 : (V-Min)/V)

H = ... (depends on dominant color)
