Re: Colors for very small JPEG images are way off: bug or feature?

That is the nature of JPEG. I know JPEG is lossy.... Bonus answer: No. ...but I don't get this, to be honest. After all, these are only 4 pixels, all in all. So there is no way in JPEG to precisely describe the colors for each single one of only 4 pixels in a very small image, "losslessly"...

Re: Colors for very small JPEG images are way off: bug or feature?

Nevermind... for now I succeeded with a "good enough" result by adding -quality 100% to the JPEG creation commands. Now the resulting color values are: # ImageMagick pixel enumeration: 2,2,255,srgb 0,0: (254,0,0) #FE0000 srgb(254,0,0) 1,0: (0,128,1) #008001 srgb(0,128,1) 0,1: (0,0,254) #00...

Colors for very small JPEG images are way off: bug or feature?

I noticed that JPEGs do have colors which are very far off from the originals, if the image dimensions are very small. (It happened when I scaled down a larger image.) To test this further, I created a very small, 2x2 pixel image with the following command: PNG: convert \ -size 1x1 \ \( xc:red xc:gr...

There is no Ghostscript 9.3. The latest released version is v9.15, the upcoming version likely will get named v9.16.

Re: ImageMagick identify crashes with pdf

For investigating a PDF file, ImageMagick is the totally wrong tool. All ImageMagick commands employ 'delegates' to handle input PDFs. They use Ghostscript first to convert all PDF pages to raster images. Only after that step they take their first look at raster images to do something with it. Not e...

Re: Conversion from PDF to PNG contains unwanted artifacts

I tested a few more (direct) Ghostscript-conversions to raster formats: '-sDEVICE={tiff24nc,png16m,jpeg}' . All these didn't produce the artifact. It's only the 'pngalpha' -device which has the problem. Maybe this is a chance to find a workaround? [*][/b][/color] Provided, your IM has a setup which ...

I added a -density 4800 closeup of one of the arrowheads to the above-mentioned web page. It does look to me as though the little triangle was deliberately drawn there.

Re: Conversion from PDF to PNG contains unwanted artifacts

What 'identify -verbose some.pdf' tells you are many details supposedly about the input PDF which are not relevant at all for the PDF. The reason: identify (as ImageMagick in general) cannot directly handle PDF itself. It uses Ghostscript as its 'delegate' to process input PDF pages and convert them...

Re: New image format BPG -- something for ImageMagick to support?

The current release of ImageMagick can process BPG images under Linux if the BPG binaries are installed. That was fast! Thnk you very much :D (I assume with "current release" you mean v6.9.0-5 to be released sometime soon -- not the v6.9.0-4 released 2015-01-16?) BTW, your last couple of ...

Re: can I create a PDF which will always open at zoom 100% ?

From my rusty memory, the following additional parameter to a Ghostscript command (when running a recent v9.xx version of Ghostscript!) should set the initial view parameters for the viewer: -c "[ /PageMode /UseNone /Page 1 /View [ /XYZ null null 1 ] /PageLayout /SinglePage /DOCVIEW pdfmark&quo...
