[Closed] possible bug with %C and %[compression] with TIFF

[fmw42]

Here is a layered/paged TIFF file.

http://www.fmwconcepts.com/misc_tests/t ... iginal.tif

When using identify -verbose in IM 6.9.10.7 Q16 Mac OSX, it shows compressions of LZW, RLE, RLE

But when using string formats, it shows all the same compressions as the first layer

Code: Select all

convert original.tif -format "%[compression]\n" info:

LZW
LZW
LZW

Code: Select all

convert original.tif -format "%C\n" info:

LZW
LZW
LZW

This still seems to be an issue in IM 6.9.10.9 and IM 7.0.8.9 and IM 7.0.8.10 beta.

This issue is caused because the compression differs per channel in a PSD file. The last known compression of a channel will be used for the compression of that layer. And this happens when the pixels of the image are being read. When we ping an image we don't read the pixels.

[fmw42]

But I had not added -ping to the command. I though that meant that the pixels would be read. Is that not true?

It appears that I misread your issue. This was not only an issue with layered tiff images. Just pushed a patch to resolve this issue.

Thanks.

This appears to be fixed in Imagemagick 6.9.10.10 and 7.0.8.10
