jmvergesandClaude Opus 5.5 ca59598cd7 PDF import: Separation images keep their ink (#6314)
An image in a Separation color space opened as an RGB image: its spot ink
was lost (no plate in Separations Preview), and Fill and Recolor Artwork
didn't reach its color.

It now opens as a grayscale image of its tints (white where it lays no
ink, black at 100 %, its Decode array applied; 1 to 16 bits a sample, or
one gray channel from its JPEG, CCITT, JBIG2 or JPEG 2000 decoder),
colorized by its ink at 100 %: the spot swatch, a process plate's CMYK
color, or Registration. Its mask becomes its opacity mask, as a CMYK
image's does. The ink is found by the image's color space among those the
file defines, once per image. The ink None, an ink whose color can't be
told, images inside an alpha soft mask, inline images and DeviceN images
open as before; samples that can't be read open in RGB with a warning, and
the ink gets no swatch.
