Convert colorspace

Hello,

I'm using hotfolder to import images into media. I would like to convert all images with LAB-colorspace to RGB-colorspace at import. I have tried to create as task with a color converter but without success. The image is imported but the colorspace stays LAB.

My task looked like this:
1) flattener
2) Color Converter (RGB)

What am I doing wrong? Should I decode and encode in my task?

Thanks for your help,
Jelle

Could you please upload two sample files ( same image but different format)

1. LAB- color space

2. RGB- color space
I can do some tests.

The purpose of insertion tasks is to either add or subtract metadata or to change the appearance of the preview (add watermark, for example). Changes to dimensions/colorspace etc need to be done on retrieval.

This is basically because the MediaBin's promise is to kepe the original as given which means it doe snot actually change the asset at ingest and (Get Original) conitnues to mean what it sounds like!

To accomplish what you ar etrying to do you can either do the conversion from Lab --> RGB on retrieval (preferred) or sometimes people use linked hot folders to preproces simages prior to ingest with Hot Folder 1 programmed to output to a filesystem folder which is then the incoming folder for Hot Folder 2.

Sorry for the confusion.
