sorry final note
You don't believe that 4 compare tools showing basically the same result can be right.
https://www.textcompare.org/image/ is especially effective as it shows the VERY different images
I can add that : windows, gimp , krita, all display CMYK jpg appearing identical to CMYK tiff. Good enough.
Cyan doesnt show anything since it closes down.
the mentioned textcompare tool displays more or less the actual aspect of the photos, and they are very different.
My take is simple: Gimp performs a "declared" conversion to gimp srgb, while Krita does a conversion, but
it "respects" the icc tag. Only apparently. So it seems to be working on CMYK converted files, but it absolutely is not.
Both Gimp and krita work on srgb color files. Which obviously appear and are identical.
At my age I can bet everything that CMYK converted jpg and tif files are almost totally different.
Which is the point.
So I hope some expert can suggest other compare tools to test and reach a final verdict.
Or other similar ways. But the test/s must be absolutely, fully dependable, operating at actual pixels level.
So, not really everything, but 20.000 Euros against nothing. I'll keep my word, or bet, for sure.
Maybe it doesnt help my issue, but at least at my age perhaps I am still "awake" (can't find a word).
thanks for your help, also future, and for organizing the test/s, really
