Hi,

These seems to be working fine with newer IM, thanks!

"Why does it matter if it is grayscale or RGB with equal channels?" Because I need to create an RGB image and not a grayscale one. It's that simple. It's about colour mode an not content. Unfortunately, I can't update IM in the office so I'm stuck with an old version. Affinity is not an Apple ...

It has transparency but it's grayscale and has alpha.
I'll check it in PS tomorrow.

Hi,

I tried it and it produced a grayscale image.

Edit: Opened the generated image in Affinity so I'm not 100% sure about it, although Affinity opened my template.psd just fine.

Hi,

Here's the link for 3 psd files and a screenshot showing layer/channel info: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xkcv00dl10r9 ... t.zip?dl=0

I hope it works.

Cheers,

I'll post them.

I don't think there's such a thing that "transparent white". Transparent means there's no colour information whatsoever.
R=G=B=255 is still an RGB image and not grayscale (we just perceive it as grayscale).
Also, "1 bit gray" doesn't make any sense for me.

Identify misinterprets the psd file content, IMHO. In what way? Can you be more specific? Can you make screen snaps of the layer snap channels control panels for you image and post those and describe what is different compared to identify -verbose? Hi, For example, I have a template psd, 16 bit RGB ...

Why don't you just make the image in Photoshop? Out of interest and this may give some insight on what photoshop would create. I made a new image with a white background; added a transparent layer and deleted the background. This is the output of identify ( only one layer displayed in Photoshop ...

A single transparent image must have some color under the transparency. Typically it is transparent black. I do not think there is anything that is just transparent with no under color. But Photoshop may hide that so all you see is the transparent image. When you create a transparent background ...

Hi,

Unfortunately, I can't upload anything for security reasons now. I'm gonna replicate these images at home and upload them from there.
Btw, what's the best host for sharing images, including psd files?

You should use `-set colorspace:auto-grayscale false`. The -define will not set it as a property on the image but -set does. Do you get the correct result with the following command? convert -size 500x500 xc:none -depth 8 -set colorspace:auto-grayscale off test.psd I've tried this one but it gave ...

Hi,

I've tried the latest version available on my Mac (using homebrew) and it's still doesn't give me the desired result.

Hi, Thanks for all the suggestions! Unfortunately, none of them give me the expected result. As a matter of fact, only the first worked fine (but gave me a grayscale image with a black background and an alpha). The last one didn't work at all but that's probably because of the old version I'm using ...

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply!

IM version: 6.6.3-0
I'd like to create a psd with a single, totally transparent layer.

Thanks in advance,
M
