SVS: compression not supported

Post by darwinjob »

Hi
When try to identify SVS file I get "identify: compression not supported" message.

Code: Select all

./magick identify 3931.svs 
identify: compression not supported `3931.svs' @ error/tiff.c/ReadTIFFImage/1543.
SVS is just a multipage TIFF, GIMP can open them, IM should be able to open them too. Is there any way to fix this?


The test file is here: http://folk.uio.no/dmitrd/bio-formats/3931.svs

SVS is not supported by ImageMagick. It is a proprietary format wrapped in the open TIFF format. See http://paulbourke.net/dataformats/svs/.
