Newer Imagemagick Version results in black image [solved]

Post by CybrMike »

Convert version 6.3.7 results in expected image with the following command:

[solved]

Convert version 6.5.7-8 results in completely black image (or transparent if you change to png).

Here are the images:

[solved]

Has something been changed or deprecated that would change the above command? This is holding an infrastructure upgrade back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have art discounts to give away :)

I was using the ubuntu 10.04 version. I just upgraded and the resulting image is still black. Any other ideas?

Are you upgrading ubuntu or IM? You don't mention the IM version you are using. But assuming you did upgrade IM, then ...

Your command is rather complex as one long command. Try to find the option that seems to fail by doing things in multiple commands and saving intermediate temporary images.

try changing +compose to -compose over

surprisingly, changing +compose to -compose over worked great! Thanks for the help!

I think +compose was deprecated or removed at some point in favor of just resetting the compose method to the default -compose over. But Anthony may be able to comment further on that.
