How to produce a grayscale PSD

Post by axelrose »

I always seem to get RGB PSDs.

Code: Select all

> /usr/local/share/imagemagick/bin/convert -version
Version: ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 2009-08-03 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2009 ImageMagick Studio LLC

> /usr/local/share/imagemagick/bin/convert rose: -colorspace gray psd:rose.psd

 > exiftool rose.psd | grep -i color
Color Mode                      : RGB

ImageMagick updates a few EXIF fields (e.g. resolution) however it does update the color mode field. We'll work on a patch in the near future to fix this problem.
