Why my ImageMagick performs colortoning with different resul

[honzajavorek]

I found Instagraph PHP library (GitHub, NetTuts) for photo filters. However, I found out on my box it does not output the same images as presented on NetTuts.

I localized the issue and it has to be within colortone function, because otherwise filters work well. Let's take Toaster as a showcase, because it performs only one colortone transformation. Code generated by the colortone PHP function (bash-escaped):

Code: Select all

convert test.jpg \( -clone 0 -fill '#330000' -colorize 100% \) \( -clone 0 -colorspace gray -negate \) -compose blend -define compose:args=100,0 -composite test.jpg

The rest of sequence of command to complete the filter (those should be all right):

Code: Select all

convert test.jpg -modulate 150,80,100 -gamma 1.2 -contrast -contrast test.jpg
convert test.jpg \( -size 960.0x960.0 radial-gradient:none-LavenderBlush3 -gravity center -crop 640x640+0+0 +repage \) -compose multiply -flatten test.jpg
convert test.jpg \( -size 960.0x960.0 radial-gradient:#ff9966-none -gravity center -crop 640x640+0+0 +repage \) -compose multiply -flatten test.jpg

And now, let's look at the expected result of the Toaster filter:



However, my script produces following:



It is a lot darker, but I have no idea why. There are probably only two options to explain such behavior:

• Author of the library has a bug in his library. (I do not think so, but it is still possible...)
• My ImageMagick is different than author's and so it produces different results. (How that can happen?)

Has anyone a clue why my ImageMagick produces different results? Could it be some initial settings? My ImageMagick is installed purely from standard Ubuntu package.

Code: Select all

$ convert --version

Could anyone help me to get the expected output?

I filed similar StackOverflow question and an issue on GitHub.

Ubuntu's version of Imagemagick is ancient, and was before the RGB/sRGB issue. I suggest you upgrade to the current version (or at least v6.7.9).

I compiled my own latest upstream version of ImageMagick and it produced the same, wrong output.

Code: Select all

$ convert --version

I am going to check out the links from fmw42 and to do further investigation.

Great! This produces completely the same output as expected:

Code: Select all

convert test.jpg -set colorspace RGB \( -clone 0 -fill '#330000' -colorize 100% \) \( -clone 0 -colorspace gray -negate \) -compose blend -define compose:args=100,0 -composite test.jpg

(mind the added -set colorspace RGB)

Thank you very much, guys! If you know how, you can mark this as solved (I tried to adjust name of the topic, but apparently I can't).

You can edit the topic title to add SOLVED to the beginning, but the field is limited in length, so you must delete some from the end.
