What is correct behaviour for JPG thumbnail of PSD file with alpha channels

Post by usemagi »

In newest version of Image Magick such thumbnail is generated:

on previous version (ImageMagick 7.0.8-14) it was:
http://i.piccy.info/i9/db0a3e7cd5493627 ... 901res.jpg

So what is correct bahaviour in terms of processing PSD files with alpha channel?

Thanks

Imagemagick has never been able to handle extra (alpha) channels. Also your PSD file references fonts that I do not have on my system.

Please show your exact command line and your exact current version to compare to 7.0.8.14

For me, IM 6.9.10.48 and IM 7 0.8.48 (Mac OSX Sierra) produce the same results with a red background that looks like what I see in PS. But IM 7.0.8.14 shows no red background.

Code: Select all

convert 02_alpha-channels.psd[0] img6.png
magick 02_alpha-channels.psd[0] img7.png
Same when I include -thumbnail 100%

What do you expect/get from the same commands?

Thank you

I used Magick.NET, but I assume it does something like this(can't check since I can't find old binaries of 7.0.8-14):

Code: Select all

magick convert "02_alpha-channels.psd" -flatten -thumbnail 300x300 out.jpg
What I expect? I just don't understand - it was a fixed bug or its a new bug. I assume since PS gives same result as new version - new version just fixed a bug.

In IM 7, use magick, not magick convert. Try

Code: Select all

magick "02_alpha-channels.psd[0]" -thumbnail 300x300 out.jpg
The first layer of a PSD file is the flattened layer.
