<?php
/*
 *
 * 
 * Recombine split color channels
 *
 * This sample code expects N grayscale images as input, colorizes each image
 * with Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, respectively, and places all
 * colorized images on top of each other with blendmode=Darken. As a
 * result, the full recombined CMYK image is visible on the page.
 *
 * Using the parameters at the start of the code you can even recombine
 * more than four channels, or color channels other than C, M, Y, K.
 *
 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9
 * Required data: TIFF image file, CMYK image file, ICC profile
