Percentage of the colors?

Hi....

I need to know which the percentage of the colors in image (density of colors...).

i.e. I will print a photo and need to know (in CMYK) the percentages, (like 12% of C, 18% of M and etc...) to calculate my cost of impression.
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,

Emerson

Well, those numbers depend on the separation process. To get an idea, you could install the "separate" plug-in (http://www.blackfiveservices.co.uk/separate.shtml), get a color profile from the printer, separate to CMYK and analyze the results. Not quite sure how you would do about the latter. Using the histogram might be an option, but I am afraid that there's no direct way to get that number. But I might just be missing something. Perhaps someone else has a good idea how to calculate it?
