LAB color space TIFF to RGB JPEG

Post by imagechallenged »

Hello,

Has anyone had any success with converting TIFFs with LAB color space to JPEG RGB.

I tried the identify command and got the following error.

c:\>identify "c:\1949.203.tif"
c:\1949.203.tif TIFF 3512x5161 3512x5161+0+0 DirectClass 16-bit 103.747mb 0.313u 0:01
identify: Sorry, can not handle image. `c:\1949.203.tif'.

It doesn't seem to want to recognise the file in the first instance. Yet I can open it in Photoshop and it shows up and says colorpsace is LAB/16bit.

Thanks

Can you post a URL to your image? We have an 8-bit LAB TIFF image that converts fine for us. Perhaps the problem is specific to your image.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The image we have is a 16bit LAB TIFF file. So I am guessing that you guys may only support 8 bit ?

The image is quite large but I will see if we can get one to you.

Cheers
Erick
