pb with PICT image - not reading size correctly

[blegay]

Hi,

I have a picture in PICT format. OS X displays the file correctly and reports a size of 679x811.

When I tried convert the image was cropped (only top left part was converted).

Here is what identify reports :

I opened the file with Preview (OS X image viewing tool) and saved in the same format (pict) as "264.pct"
It does report an error in the header but the file size is identified correctly...

Any idea ?

Thanks

Post a URL to the image ImageMagick fails to read. We need to download it and inspect it to determine why it fails to process.

Here is an URL of the original picture file...

http://www.rt2005-chauffage.com/pict/264.pct

The file will be deleted in few days...

Thanks

you never actually said what your exact convert command was. perhaps you are doing something incorrectly?

[magick]

It appears to be a bug in the PICT reader. We will look for a patch for the problem within the next few days.
