Layered Tiffs to PDF

Post by MH@JCP »

Hi,

I'm new to this board and need to ask how you would recommend flattening layered TIFF files before creating a PDF file.

When I currently send the TIFFS through the workflow it creates a PDF but has peach circles where the layer masks which we don't want to show.

In Photoshop, I would traditionally use the Layer>Flatten Image

Please, always provide your IM version and platform when asking questions, since syntax may differ. Also provide your exact command line and if possible your images.

If you want to flatten all the images into one, then:

Code: Select all

magick in.tiff -background White -layers Flatten out.pdf
The background can be "None" if you want transparency. Or use any colour you want.
