Tif file size reduced based on content

Post by drewvy »

Hi,

I love ImageMagick. Awesome software.

I'm using ImageMagick 6.4.1 on Windows and Linux and both have the same problem.

I have a tif file called black1.tif that is completely black and is 16bits per channel. If I run this command:

convert black1.tif test.tif

test.tif is saved as a tiny one bit image. I don't want this. I need for it to still be a 16bits per channel image file. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

You can find black1.tif at http://drop.io/imagemagick
