There isn't a built in function to do this for you, you'll need to write something to do it, and to write out a file.

Using GD2's imagecolorat() function you can get the colour of a pixel in an image in RGB. You can then use the RGB->CMY algorithm found here: http://www.easyrgb.com/math.php?MATH=M11#text11 to get to CMY, and then theres a CMY -> CMYK algorithm to do the final step. To write out a CMYK file you'll need to find an appropriate file format specification (TIFF? Targa?), and write some code to make the file.

It's going to be a lot of work..

thanks a lot for help.

i find a code and i added it converting Algorithm.
problem how i will create a new image with this CMYK value.
Because imagecolorallocate is not allowed.

Code is:

 <?
    $imgname = "imagecolor.jpg";
    $image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($imgname);

$imagehw = GetImageSize($imgname);
$imagewidth = $imagehw[0];
$imageheight = $imagehw[1];

print("Width : $imagewidth : Height : $imageheight <BR>");

for ($row = 0 ; $row < $imageheight ; $row++)
{
    for ($col = 0 ; $col < $imagewidth ; $col++)
    {
        $rgb = ImageColorAt($image, $col, $row);
        $r = ($rgb >> 16) & 0xFF;
        $g = ($rgb >> 8) & 0xFF;
        $b = $rgb & 0xFF;


        /*  RGB —> CMY  */
        $C = 1 - ( $r / 255 );
        $M = 1 - ( $g / 255 );
        $Y = 1 - ( $b / 255 );



        /*  CMY —> CMYK  */
        $var_K = 1;

        if ( $C < $var_K )   $var_K = $C;
        if ( $M < $var_K )   $var_K = $M;
        if ( $Y < $var_K )   $var_K = $Y;

        $C = ( $C - $var_K ) / ( 1 - $var_K );
        $M = ( $M - $var_K ) / ( 1 - $var_K );
        $Y = ( $Y - $var_K ) / ( 1 - $var_K );
        $K = $var_K;

        print("$row : $col -- $C : $M : $K :$K<BR>");
    }
}

?>

And output is:

Width : 426 : Height : 254
0 : 0 -- 0 : 0.30588235294118 : 0 :0
0 : 1 -- 0 : 0.34509803921569 : 0 :0

You'd have to convert it back into RGB, then.
