`identify' Problems

Post by Andriy »

Hi,
I've got two same set of imagemagick(6.2.9 08/22/06) and gs(Ghostscript 7.07 (2003-05-17)) on two different servers(first FreeBSD, second Debian GNU Linux) for the same pdf identify gives:
FreeBSD(right result):
Type: ColorSeparation
Linux(false):
Type: Grayscale
How I can fix this problem?

Check delegates.xml and see if the device differs for the ps-color tag. Let us know which device works and which one fails.

Here is

One system uses the pngalpha device and the other pnmraw. You can try switching the devices and see if that makes a difference. So far it appears that the problem is within Ghostscript so selecting a different device may help. We're using Ghostscript 8.54 and cannot reproduce the problem you are having.
