How to identify CMYK images using C#

Question

Does anybody know how to properly identify CMYK images using C#? I found how to do it using ImageMagick, but I need a .NET solution. I found 3 code snippets online, only one

My test results are a bit different than yours.

• Windows 7:
  • ImageFlags: ColorSpaceRgb
  • PixelFormat: PixelFormat32bppCMYK (8207)
• Windows Server 2008 R2:
  • ImageFlags: ColorSpaceRgb
  • PixelFormat: PixelFormat32bppCMYK (8207)
• Windows Server 2008:
  • ImageFlags: ColorSpaceYcck
  • PixelFormat: Format24bppRgb

The following code should work:

    public static bool IsCmyk(this Image image)
    {
        var flags = (ImageFlags)image.Flags;
        if (flags.HasFlag(ImageFlags.ColorSpaceCmyk) || flags.HasFlag(ImageFlags.ColorSpaceYcck))
        {
            return true;
        }

        const int PixelFormat32bppCMYK = (15 | (32 << 8));
        return (int)image.PixelFormat == PixelFormat32bppCMYK;
    }
