ImageMagick can't open some PNG files, mostly 1-bit grayscale stuff

Example image:

Trying to read/convert this with imagemagick fails, eg.

Code: Select all

$ wget https://i.imgur.com/WyBCPty.png
...
$ convert WyBCPty.png test.ppm
$ hexdump -C test.ppm 
00000000  50 36 0a 38 37 20 38 37  0a 32 35 35 0a 00 00 00  |P6.87 87.255....|

As you can see, the resulting PPM file is completely blank. Converting it to JPEG or another format does not help, nor does converting it to another PNG. Furthermore, trying to use applications like zbarimg, which rely on ImageMagick to read files, fails (it also reads completely blank images).

For comparison, the tool pngtopnm works fine here:

Code: Select all

$ pngtopnm WyBCPty.png > test.ppm
$ hexdump -C test.ppm | head
00000000  50 34 0a 38 37 20 38 37  0a 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |P4.87 87........|
00000010  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  |................|

And converting this resulting PPM file to a PNG or JPEG again using ImageMagick also works. Therefore, I suspect that the issue is in the PNG decoder.

On a slightly older version, v6.9.0-0 on Windows 8.1, that image identifies and converts with no problem.

Recent versions of IM have been somewhat volatile. You might find that upgrading to the current version solves the problem.

The conversion succeeds with the current ImageMagick release, ImageMagick 6.9.0-10.

I've reproduced the bug on the current version of imagemagick, with the same results.

Code: Select all

Note: I have ImageMagick built with clang, not GCC. Thinking that this might have something to do with it, I've tried re-building with GCC. Unfortunately, the results are the same.

Updates:

It seems to be due to the configuration flags Gentoo was using. I've built directly from the source and it works. Then I built a second time with this configure line:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-silent-rules --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-static --enable-hdri --enable-opencl --with-threads --with-modules --with-quantum-depth=64 --with-magick-plus-plus --with-perl --with-perl-options=INSTALLDIRS=vendor --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts --with-bzlib --with-x --with-zlib --without-autotrace --without-dps --without-djvu --with-dejavu-font-dir=/usr/share/fonts/dejavu --without-fftw --without-fpx --with-fontconfig --with-freetype --without-gslib --without-gvc --with-jbig --with-jpeg --with-openjp2 --without-lcms --with-lcms2 --with-lqr --with-lzma --with-openexr --with-pango --with-png --with-rsvg --with-tiff --with-webp --without-windows-font-dir --without-wmf --with-xml --disable-openmp --with-gcc-arch=no-automagic
And that triggers the issue.

I missed the fact that you were using Q64. (Coo!)

With my Cygwin build of Q64, v6.9.0-0 ...

Code: Select all

%IM64f%convert WyBCPty.png x.png
... gives an entirely black output. Other Quantums (8, 16, 32) do not show the problem.

I can confirm that the official Gentoo package works fine when set to q32 instead of q64, as well.

Probably due to this in coders/png.c (fortunately only appears once):

Code: Select all

#if (MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH == 16) || (MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH == 32)
   do something
#else
   assume quantum_depth is 8; do something else
#endif
Should be easy to fix.

EDIT: Maybe not. I changed that test to

Code: Select all

#if (MAGICKCORE_QUANTUM_DEPTH >= 16)
and rebuilt ImageMagick. Still all black. I rebuilt ImageMagick again using the "-m64" compiler option. Still the converted image is all black.

EDIT2: I also tried converting to png64:file.png but it's still all black.

EDIT3: A Q32 build produces the correct result when the output is png64:file.png but an all-black
image when the output file is just q32.png

Do you mean Q64?

In that case, I'm getting different results:

Code: Select all

$ convert -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.9.0-10 Q32 x86_64 2015-03-14 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2015 ImageMagick Studio LLC

$ convert WyBCPty.png q32.png
$ convert WyBCPty.png png64:q64.png
$ sxiv q32.png q64.png
Both look fine, although q32.png is 1-bit grayscale and q64.png is 16-bit RGBA.

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong output. Both of my Q32 outputs are OK.

This bug is fixed in the upcoming IM-6.9.1-0, now available in the SVN repository, revision 18221.
