How to extract IPTC and IPTCTEXT data?

Post by oliver.andrich »

Hi,

I am using ImageMagick 6.3.5 on Mac OS X and want to use it, to extract the IPTC data from some images. As I prefer a human readable version, I would like to extract IPTCTEXT.

convert test.jpg IPTC:text.txt

extracts successfully the IPTC Header to the file test.txt.

convert test.jpg IPTCTEXT:text.txt

tells me the following.

convert: no 8BIM data is available `test.txt'.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Oliver
