HI THERE, I HAVE A QUESTION, HELP ME?

Post by anhnhung073 »

Hello, I am a new user running ImageMagick 6.9.9-26 Q16 on Mac El Capitan.

I am really enjoying it thus far, however, I have an issue when using it. I have been using ImageMagick to batch resize images for my employer. I have had no problems running the commands and getting the results I am looking for. The issue I get is the way Photoshop and Finder/ImageMagick interpret the file size.

Here is the info for the file

207991_C.tif[0] TIFF 7200x5401 7200x5401+0+0 8-bit sRGB 222.5MiB 0.000u 0:00.000
207991_C.tif[1] TIFF 7200x5400 7200x5400+0+0 8-bit sRGB 222.5MiB 0.000u 0:00.000

In the Mac Finder, it reads as 233.3 MB however when I open the image in Photoshop it reads 111.3 MB. This is the exact same file with exactly the same characteristics. The dimensions read the same too. When I open the rest of the images that were resized they read as half the OS size in Photoshop as well. Is there a way to not have this discrepancy? I just ran resizing geometry commands, nothing more nothing less. I also did a convert -depth 8 but it still read as half the file size in Photoshop.

Photoshop may be ignoring all meta data. Have you tried adding -strip to ImageMagick command to remove meta data. What type of original image are you starting from when doing the resizing? What was your exact command line? Photoshop sometime reads meta information from a proprietary profile rather than from the ImageMagick header information.

In the future, please make your post Subject more description of your problem.
