Two output files during tif -> jpg conversion

Post by psuadm »

When I do:

convert aa.tif -compress LossLess -quality 100% bb.jpg

two output files are produced:

bb-0.jpg, which is the input file geometry (eg. 9432 x 6360)
bb-1.jpg, which is a reduced geometry version (eg. 1491 x 1005).

I just want a single output file, named bb.jpg, with the geometry of the input file.

How?

Thanks.

aa.tif probably contains two images. To find out, "identify aa.tif". If you just want the first image:

Code: Select all

convert aa.tif[0] -compress LossLess -quality 100% bb.jpg

FYI see http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#compress and http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#jpg_write

"Lossless refers to lossless JPEG, which is only available if the JPEG library has been patched to support it. Use of lossless JPEG is generally not recommended."
