Thank you Fred. That did the trick on this end, too.

Thanks for the help!

The file text.ras was generated by a graphics software program for visualizing climate model output. It is called Climate Diagnostic and Analysis Tools (CDAT) developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It is the only package that can open the test.ras file in its current form and produce t...

Hello, I am trying to convert a SUN raster (*.ras) image to jpg, tiff, etc. The problem I'm having is that the colors come out wrong, which I think has to do with colormaps, or the specification of RGB or CMYK. This is not my area of expertise, so I had to give up. The version of ImageMagick I'm usi...

Frank, "2) I can get around problem 1 above by first flattening the images. But there is still a problem that when I include the "crop" option, there is still a bunch of empty white space at the bottom of the animation that I can't get rid of." I tried changing the placement of t...

Hi fmw42,

Any luck upgrading ghostscript? Are you still getting the gs errors?

-- mdtoy

I have at least two versions of ghostscript on my computer:
The one that is first on my path is ver. 8.57. But the one I have in /usr/local/bin is ver. 8.70. I'm not sure which one of these ImageMagick's "convert" uses.

fmw42,

I'm definitely not getting that error. Sorry I can't help.

Hello fmw42,

I tried -background none -rotate ... and this does not change anything -- still get the black background.

Have you tried converting the postscript files I attached? Do you get the same results as I do?

Thank you fmw42 and magick. fmw42: Your suggestion of adding +repage after crop did the trick. Final image is of the desired size. Thanks! Your suggestion of adding "-channel rgba -alpha on" didn't work, however. I still get the black background. magick: Adding the "-delay" optio...

Hello, This is a reposting of two posts I sent on 2/8/2010, now with the actual files available for download. I am operating on MacOSX Ver. 10.5.8 and my ImageMagick version is 6.5.8-0. I am trying to convert a series of postscript files to an mpeg animation using the line command "convert"...

Thanks. I'll post the files and resend my assistance posts.

Hello,

I posted two bug reports on Feb. 8. So far I haven't received a response to either one. It would to clarify the problems I am encountering if I could upload the files I'm trying to convert to see if the problem is replicated on your end. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hello again, As a continuation of my previous post, there is excess empty (white) space at the bottom of the mpeg files that get generated by convert. I have tried to get rid of it using the -crop option but it still remains. This used to not be a problem with the earlier version of ImageMagick I us...

Hello, I am trying to convert a series of postscript files to an mpeg animation using "convert files*.ps file.mpeg" The first frame comes out fine, but in each subsequent frame, the background is gone (all black) and only the foreground is seen (perhaps this is an issue with layers?). If I...
