PSD to PNG conversion(transparent images)

Post by Houd1ny »

Greetings,

Command line tool convert.exe remove transperency from images.
I have seen topic. But it did not help me.
I`m on windows 7 and using Convert.exe from ImageMagick 7.0.3-2 Q16 x64
Issue data:
Original psd
Screenshot of psd made in photoshop
Screenshot of psd made in Libreoffice draw
Saved png using PhotoShop
Png converted using using command convert.exe Opacity2.psd[0] Opacity2_converted.png
Png converted using using command convert.exe -define psd:alpha-unblend=off Opacity2.psd[0] Opacity2_converted_with_unblend_off.png
This psd is generate by my program.
I want to not that opacity is seen in Photoshop but not on Libreoffice draw. Maybe psd is not valid. But from another point of view it is correctly show in Photoshop.
I want that covert.exe return png with transparent images as you could see on "Saved png using PhotoShop".

According to my old PS CS, your file contains group layers and adjustment layers. My understanding is that Imagemagick will not convert a PSD file with group or adjustment layers to some other format besides just copying to PSD. For that you must be using a very recent version that supports the defines you mention. Unfortunately, IM is limited in its ability to handle such layers. If I have mis-stated, then I defer to the IM developers.

See the -define psd:additional-info=all|selective at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... php#define

Here is another PSD file with group layers that I get an abort trap when using -verbose. IM 6.9.6.0 Q16 Mac OSX. If it does not abort trap for you, then it must be something specific to the IM install (from source) on my Mac.

P.S. In principle, I believe, you should be able to convert the first layer (the already flattened layer) to some other format. But I am failing with abort trap on that. So I cannot test that hypothesis.

This seems to work for me on IM 6.9.6.5 Q16 Mac OSX

Code: Select all

convert -limit thread 1 Opacity2.psd[0] tmp.png

On my Mac, I need to disable OpenMP or limit threads to 1 or I get an abort trap.

fmw42,

Am I correct using IM 6.9.6.5 Q16 on Mac you was able to convert Opacity2.psd to png that It has transparency as on "Saved png using PhotoShop"
I have tested convert from ImageMagick-7.0.3 on MAC and receive the same not transparent png. Could you please confirm that IM 6.9.6.5 produce transparent color rectangles?

I checked again and you are right. My command does not produce transparent colors. So this is a bug in both IM 6.9.6.5 an 7.0.3.7. I will pass this on to the development team.

I found an old e-mail about this topic in my inbox. It appears that the merged image (the first one) does not have the correct pixel values. I don't think we can fix this.
