I am not able to get a transparent eps using IM 7.0.8.23 Q16 Mac OSX and Ghostscript 9.26

Code: Select all

magick logo: -transparent white -alpha on -channel rgba -type truecoloralpha EPS:logo.eps
Neither Mac Preview nor Photoshop nor IM display will show the transparency.

So I would post your questions to the Developer's forum and put a link to this topic. Also post your IM version and platform? And Ghostscript version.

Thanks.

That works OK only when viewing in IM display and Mac GraphicConverter. It does not show transparency in Mac Preview and shows transparency in odd places when viewed with Photoshop.
