Converting raw greyscale BMP image

[myicq]

I have some raw BMPs I would like to have converted to BMPs with header.
I know the size of each data, and I know that each image contains 256 different colors

Example file is here: http://ge.tt/8DniNXb/v/0

Both original (.raw) and converted using paintShopPro. To convert I have selected "greyscale", "interleaved" and size 300 x 119

I have tried to use

Code: Select all

convert -size 300x119 -depth 8 rgb:qwerty.raw  qwertyout.bmp

but I only get "unexpected end of file".

Second part is how I specify a specific pallette for the output. Not a major issue though.

Hope someone can find out how to get from .raw to .bmp as per example in link.

Thanks.

Your link is broken.

Your link is broken.

Just tried now from a different location. It's not broken.

If you wish the direct download link, this...

I think the "RGB:" format can only handle non-palette images. But if it's a palette image, there's no room in that file for the palette.

The "gray:" format can read the file, but I don't know if the result is correct.

The gray: image format did not make any difference..
The file being opened is exactly 35700 bytes, equal to 300 x 118.
It's a headerless BMP file in 8 bit format, one byte = 1 colour.
My attempts so far:

Code: Select all

c:\>convert -size 300x118 -depth 8 rgb:qwerty.raw q3.bmp
convert: Unexpected end-of-file (qwerty.raw).

c:\>convert -size 300x118 gray:qwerty.raw q3.bmp
convert: Unexpected end-of-file (qwerty.raw).

c:\>convert -size 300x118 -depth 1 gray:qwerty.raw q3.bmp
convert: Unexpected end-of-file (qwerty.raw).

c:\>convert -size 300x118 -depth 8 gray:qwerty.raw q3.bmp
convert: Unexpected end-of-file (qwerty.raw).

According to my arithmetic, 35700 = 300x119 (not 118).

Code: Select all

convert -size 300x119 -depth 8 gray:qwerty.raw q3.bmp

This works for me (IM v6.7.9 on Windows 7).

Snibgo - I never thanked you for the solution you gave here. This way works great.

Code: Select all

convert -size  {xsize}x{ysize} -depth 8  gray:{rawfile}   outputfile.bmp

So thumbs up for you!
