Convert SGI .rgb to another format

[brewil@silcom.com]

I have a number of .rgb image files that were created on an SGI Indigo machine. I no longer have that computer and find that I am unable to open those files in any other program. I have downloaded ImageMagick for Windows XP but still can't open them. Does anyone know of a service that could do this for me? Anyone who could help me convert the files? Thank you very much.

what version of IM are you using?

type

convert -list format

does it include

SGI* SGI rw+ Irix RGB image

try

identify -verbose image.rgb

and see if it says it is really SGI image

or try changing the suffix to .sgi and then

convert image.sgi image.png

The images are not in the SGI RGB image format. They don't begin with the 0x01DA sequence as required by the SGI image format sepcification. See http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/d ... ts/sgirgb/. Unless we know what format the images are, we cannot help.

I really appreciate your taking a look at the files. They were created in an Apparel Industry Specific software, Lectra U4ia which ran on the SGI Indigo. I have contacted them about converting the files, but since they are now PC based and haven't used the SGI platform in a few years they couldn't help me. They thought the files were standard SGI format. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.
