I am using the below command to get the first page of tiff as png. Am getting the following error

Code: Select all

convert input.tiff[0] output.png
Error:
convert: Not a TIFF or MDI file, bad magic number 1280 (0x500)
Can anyone help me?

What do you get when you rum

Code: Select all

convert -version
Does the list of delegates include both tiff and png?

What is your platform?

What gives the error? Is it Imagemagick or some other program you are using to try to view the output.pmg?

Can you successfully view your input.tiff?

Did you install Imagemagick from a binary or from source? If the latter, did you install the delegates first?
