Converting TIF to GIF produces all black image - Urgent Help

[MPIIIMan]

Having a problem using MagickWand PHP extension.
When trying to convert some TIF to a GIF the end result comes out as a solid black box.

ImageMagick Version: 6.3.5-10 Q8 (9/15/07)
MagickWand PHP Extension: php-5.2.4_magickwand_q8_st.dll
OS: Windows Server 2003

Here is the code I am using.

Code: Select all

$MagickWand = NewMagickWand();
$readimage = MagickReadImage($MagickWand, "temp/74406.tif");
MagickSetImageFormat($MagickWand, "GIF");
MagickWriteImage($MagickWand, "extracts/74406.gif");				

Here is the file it produces
http://209.196.35.199/extracts/74406.gif

Here is the original file I am trying to convert.
http://209.196.35.199/temp/74406.tif

Please help
I'm stumped. Spent over 10 hours on this problem.

Your TIFF image is corrupt so ImageMagick cannot read it.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any function I can use in MagickWand that will return that the image is corrupt.

I'm batch processing a bunch of images, and the script runs into these corrupt ones I have no way of knowing they were corrupt.

Also if the TIF is corrupt, how come Photoshop can open it?

[magick]

Most likely Photoshop is more tolerant of errors. We use the libtiff delegate library and its reporting corruption to us. To investigate further you will need to post to the libtiff mailing list.

Something is rotten in ImageMagick, because inkscape via cairo can convert Gears.tiff to Gears1.pdf(pdf 1-4) : image OK.

Any hints

cheers,

Post a URL to Gears.tif and Gears.pdf. We need to download the images and try to reproduce the problem before we can offer any help.
