I have installed ImageMagick 6.3.0 and identify no longer crashes - thanks for the fix. However, I've found another (perhaps related) problem. I have an image (http://www.bright-interactive.com/downloads/iptc_byline.jpg) that contains data for the IPTC field 'Byline' (2.080). The following command w...

I am trying to get the colorspace without having to parse the results of identify -verbose.
If the image class will only ever be one of DirectClass or PseudoClass then that helps, as I can use -format %r.

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to find out the colorspace of an image using a command-line call. identify -format %r myimage.jpg gives me the colorspace, but this is concatenated onto the end of the image class (with no space). Is it possible to get the colorspace without the image class? If not, what are the possible...

I have an image (http://www.bright-interactive.com/downloads/test.jpg) which crashes identify, i.e. when using: identify -verbose test.jpg I'm guessing that it's a problem with the EXIF data as the same occurs with: identify -format "%[EXIF:*]" test.jpg I am using Windows XP, IM 6.2.9 Q16 ...

Here's some strange behaviour: if I convert the GIF as follows: convert test.gif -compress LZW -type TrueColor -depth 8 test.tif then the image looks like it has a transparent background when I open it in GIMP, but a white background if I open it in Photoshop. If I then resize the image as well, e.g...

try using the density and units options, e.g.
-density 204x98 -units PixelsPerInch

Thanks very much Anthony! The -type TrueColor option does the trick. I can now confirm the following: - Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, and Windows Explorer (when displaying thumbnails) can only display TIFFs that have certain Photometric Interpretation values. (I have seen it work only if the Photo...

Thanks Anthony. I have noticed that the TIFF that works has the following Photometric Interpretation: RGB color whereas the one that doesn't has: Photometric Interpretation: palette color (RGB from colormap) Is this relevant? Is it likely that Windows viewer can only deal with certain values for Pho...

I am having difficulting converting GIFs that have a transparent background into TIFFs that will open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (or display as thumbnails in Windows Explorer). For example, using the following GIF file: http://www.bright-interactive.com/downloads/test.gif with ImageMagick 6.2...
