Bug converting PSD to TIF with alpha

Post by theiviaxx »

So i have a simple PSD with a single layer and RGBA channels. Running a simple convert should result in an RGBA tiff right? However i just get and RGB tiff, the alpha channel has been lost. I've tried the -define tiff:alpha options and all produce the same result.

Code: Select all

convert input.psd[0] output.tif
input.psd: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UlSwS ... XzhEWj-NVm

As far as I know, ImageMagick cannot currently handle extra channels such as your alpha channel in PSD. It only processed background transparency. You could request an enhancement, but I suspect there would like be no guaranteed ETA, since the developers are very busy.

That's a bummer. Do you know if IM can extract the additional channels at all?

Not currently from TIFF. IM 7 can deal with extra channels but only in its internal format. This was being worked on for TIFF quite a while ago, but got suspended due to other higher priorities.

Adding '[0]' to your input image name returns the PSD composite image. It does not include an alpha channel. Remove the '[0]' and you get the image layer which does include the alpha channel:

Code: Select all

convert input.psd output.tif
identify -verbose output.tif | grep -i Alpha:
Alpha: 1-bit

The output.tiff has two pages. Both look identical. The first has no alpha channel. The second is not just the alpha channel from the input. It looks like the first page. It does have an alpha channel but that is totally opaque. The alpha channel in the PSD is a diagonal striped gradient with alternating black stripes.

So I do not think this is what the OP wanted.

Here is the verbose information for the output.tif:
