NEF to JPG

[garrett]

Greetings,

I am attempting to use IM to convert NEF to JPG. I do not have access to dcraw on my current host. When I use a simple convert command, I end up with a tiny JPG. I have attempted to use -size, but to no avail. Any ideas? Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance, Happy New Years

I tried convert -verbose, and wound up with the following. I am curious as to why it mentions an image width of 160, when the original NEF file was over 3000 px wide.

ImageMagick requires the dcraw (or ufraw for recent releases) delegate program to read NEF images.

Thank you very much for your swift response.

Would it stand to reason that because I can create a very small version of the NEF file that one of those two is installed (contrary to what I have been told by my host)?

Thanks again,
