Invalid TIFF directory;tags are nt sorted in ascending order

Post by Rasmi Teja »

Hi,

I have installed Imagemagick-6.6.7-6 on unix based solaris machine.

when we issued convert command at path /home/ImageMagick-6.6.7-6 as below

> usr/local/bin/convert /home/dev/greater/1234567.tif /home/dev/greater/1234567.gif

i get the following warning:

convert: /home/dev/greater/1234567.tif: invalid TIFF directory; tags are not sorted in ascending order. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/706.
convert: /home/dev/greater/1234567.tif: unknown field with tag 34200 (0x8598) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/706.

Could you please help with how to avoid this warning?

If your image is getting created correctly, then these warnings can be eliminated by adding -quiet to your command line.
