What and why

Part of #6348: its two simpler cases. A PDF image in a DeviceN color space opened as an RGB image, so its inks were lost.

• One colorant, [/DeviceN [/SpotRed] …]: now opens as a Separation image does since PDF import: Separation images keep their ink (#6314) #6347, a grayscale image of its tints colorized by its ink (spot swatch, process plate or Registration).
• Process plates only, two to 32 colorants among Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (the ink None may be among them): now opens as a CMYK image, each colorant's tint in its plate, its Decode array applied, through the same path as DeviceCMYK images (opacity mask and cache included). 8 or 16 bits a sample. One that can't be read, a JPEG among them, opens in RGB with the CMYK images' warning.
• A spot ink with other colorants (a duotone): still RGB, on purpose. That needs an image that holds several inks, and I asked in PDF import: an image in a DeviceN color space opens as an RGB image and loses its inks (duotones included) #6348 how you'd like to model it. a_duotone_devicen_image_still_opens_as_rgb pins that for now.

Process plates take their tints by name, ignoring the alternate space and tint transform, as vector DeviceN colors already do (Colors::inks_color, #3235). So a file whose tint transform doesn't map Cyan to C = 1 looks different on screen than the old RGB image, the same trade-off as for vector art.

How (crates/pdf/src/import_image.rs)

• one_ink_space (was separation_space) also takes a DeviceN of one colorant, so Builder::separation_image and Colors::array_space handle it unchanged.
• process_plates and process_devicen, called from cmyk() when the space isn't a CMYK one. The sample length is computed with checked arithmetic, because 32 colorants of 2 bytes over MAX_CMYK_PIXELS don't fit a 32-bit usize (the web build).

Docs: docs/file-format-parity.md (status line, the PDF row and the revision history).

How it was tested

crates/pdf/src/tests/colorize.rs:

• a_devicen_image_of_one_ink_opens_colorized_by_it
• a_devicen_image_of_process_plates_opens_in_cmyk: 8-bit Cyan and Magenta, then 16-bit [/Cyan /None /Black] with a Decode array that inverts Cyan.
• a_duotone_devicen_image_still_opens_as_rgb

The first two fail on main. The one-ink test also fails with the change but with DeviceN left out of one_ink_space, and the process test fails with process_devicen left out.

What I ran:

• Every step of cargo xtask ci with Rust 1.99.1 on Linux x86_64, run one by one, passed before a review round. After it (checked lengths, the 32-colorant limit, the 16-bit test, docs) I re-ran fmt, clippy and the tests for vectorcraft-pdf, and cargo xtask wasm. As in PDF import: image masks open colorized by the color they are painted in (#6313) #6321, I skipped one test that fails on my machine whatever the change: vectorcraft-text's tests::harakat::coloured_harakat_keep_kashida, which picks the Arial installed here.
• The repro from PDF import: an image in a DeviceN color space opens as an RGB image and loses its inks (duotones included) #6348 with a vectorcraft-cli built from this branch: the one-ink file opens as a Grayscale image colorized by SpotRed (with its plate), the process file as a CMYK image, and the duotone as RGB.

Checklist

• cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm), apart from the one machine-specific vectorcraft-text test above; see "What I ran" for what ran after the last changes.
• No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or
  unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or
  messages. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user
  (why and how).
• Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md). The test PDFs are written by hand from ISO 32000-1.
• Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md (no new assets).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Improved PDF image import for DeviceN color spaces. Single-ink images retain their ink color, while images made up only of process colors are imported as CMYK.
  • Mixed spot-ink and process-color images remain RGB.
  • Decoding now accounts for color-channel ranges, including inverted ranges, and supports higher-bit-depth images.

Walkthrough

PDF import now handles one-colorant DeviceN images as grayscale tint images colorized by their ink. It also converts DeviceN images made only of process colorants to CMYK, applying Decode ranges. Mixed spot and process colorants remain RGB.

Changes: PDF DeviceN image import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
One-ink DeviceN colorization crates/pdf/src/import_image.rs, crates/pdf/src/import/builder.rs, crates/pdf/src/import/device.rs, crates/pdf/src/tests/colorize.rs	The importer identifies one-ink color spaces and colorizes grayscale tint images with their ink. Tests cover a single-colorant DeviceN spot-ink image.
Process-plate DeviceN conversion crates/pdf/src/import_image.rs, crates/pdf/src/tests/colorize.rs, docs/file-format-parity.md	The importer converts supported process-only colorants to CMYK and applies per-colorant Decode ranges. Tests cover 8-bit and 16-bit samples, None colorants, and mixed spot/process colorants. The parity document records the conversion and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: bflatastic, dylanmtaylor

Merge Risk: Low · up to ae9ab

The import change is mergeable with bounded documentation follow-up, but the file-formats parity evidence and M4 milestone should reflect the DeviceN work.
