DPX RGB 16bits/ch to PNG 16bits/ch

[rvdboom]

Hi!
I would like to convert a large number of 16bits per channel RGB DPX files that are used for a motion picture to PNG 16bits per channel.
Using identify, the DPX appear to have these specs :

DPX/DM_DANS_LES_EAUX_PROFONDES06476.dpx DPX 1920x1080 1920x1080+0+0 16-bit RGB 12.45MB 0.000u 0:00.000

When I convert them to PNG using the following command :

convert DM_DANS_LES_EAUX_PROFONDES06476.dpx PNG64:DM_DANS_LES_EAUX_PROFONDES06476.png

The resulting file have the following specs :

DM_DANS_LES_EAUX_PROFONDES06476.png PNG 1920x1080 1920x1080+0+0 16-bit sRGB 6.589MB 0.000u 0:00.000

Thus, there has been a colospace change from RGB to sRGB.
I am concerned that I lost some color precision in the process, though I'm not at all specialist in this.
Is this the case and if yes, how can I force convert to keep the RGB colorspace?
I tried the "-set colorspace RGB" and "-colorspace RGB" options but still ended with a sRGB file.
Maybe PNG is sRGB only?
As a side note, these PNG files will only be used to create video files at best in YUV422 colorspace, so keeping the full colorspace may be unecessary anyway.

If you put a sample DPX somewhere like dropbox.com and paste the RL here, someone can take a look.

What version of IM are you using?

The imagemagick version is imagemagick-6.8.6_10-x86_64-1.
Here is a sample of the source DPX files :

And here is the resulting PNG file using the above-provided command :

Under IM v6.9.0-0 on Windows 8.1, the command...

Code: Select all

convert DM_DANS_LES_EAUX_PROFONDES08682.dpx d.png

... creates a PNG that "identify" reports as being sRGB. However, the file is marked as gamma=1, and the PNG has a gamma chunk=1, and no sRGB chunk.

So it looks to me that "identify" is confused, and is mis-reporting this PNG as sRGB.

Perhaps a developer can take a look.

How do you check for those? Using "-verbose" with identify?

BTW, thanks for the replies!

Yes.

OK, thanks!
