Problems converting rgb to gif (or any format)

Post by MACUCSF »

Hi-
I've been using IM inside of an image processing script. I had used 6.5.4 hundreds of times. I returned to my script and the conversion of rgb to gif resulted in a "garbage" image. Difficult to describe, from other imaging perspectives, I would say it was out of phase. It was not just "scrambled", the top half was black and the bottom had a "tail of a comet" like appearance. So, I upgraded to 6.8.1, but the problem persists. Converting from rgb to any format results in the same behavior. One might jump to concluding it was the source which generated the rgb, but that has not changed through all of this.

I am at a complete loss. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I suggest you supply a source file, the reuslt, and the exact command you used.
