Converting PSD to TIFF and preserving layers

[Switcharoo]

Hello,

Is there any way to preserve layers when converting from PSD to TIFF?

Using this command the layers are flattened:

Code: Select all

Convert Input.psd Output.tiff

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.

If using Imagemagick 7, then see http://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php#cli

Best if you post your PSD file to some free hosting service that won't change the format and put the URL here.

If we assume you actually have more than one layer, then your command should convert from layered PSD to multi-paged TIFF. Imagemagick does not support layered TIFFs at this time as far as I know.

For example:

identify test.psd
